<p>When you apply to UCSB. Do you apply for the major or do you apply for the university itself? I really want to get into chemical engineering, and i was wondering is it really hard to get into? </p>
<p>Thanks guys:)</p>

<p>It does not appear to say directly, but it does appear from this page that freshmen in UCSB’s College of Engineering are admitted by major:
[Changing</a> Your Major | UCSB College of Engineering](<a href=“http://engineering.ucsb.edu/prospective_undergraduates/changing_your_major]Changing”>http://engineering.ucsb.edu/prospective_undergraduates/changing_your_major)</p>
<p>The following implies that UCSB’s College of Creative Studies also admits freshmen by major:
[College</a> of Creative Studies, UC Santa Barbara - Admissions](<a href=“http://www.ccs.ucsb.edu/admissions/]College”>http://www.ccs.ucsb.edu/admissions/)</p>
<p>The following implies that UCSB’s College of Letters and Science students declare majors around sophomore or junior year:
[UCSB</a> College of Letters & Science, Undergraduate Education](<a href=“http://www.advising.ltsc.ucsb.edu/advising/index.html?tab=9#TabbedPanels1]UCSB”>http://www.advising.ltsc.ucsb.edu/advising/index.html?tab=9#TabbedPanels1)</p>
<p>However, since your question is not explicitly addressed, you probably want to contact each of the divisions (Letters and Science, Engineering, and Creative Studies) with your question.</p>
<p>So would it be easier for me to get into UCSB by majoring in biochemistry or chemical engineering?</p>
