I’m an early high-school graduate admitted to UCB for this upcoming year(20-21) I’m planning on majoring in Data Science (with a domain emphasis in Cognitive Science) and wanted to ask the experience of those who are currently/have already completed this major, and it’s competitivity level.
It is a relatively new major, with the first graduates in 2019:

Note: four of the profiled graduates had a domain emphasis in cognition.
Some numbers for post-graduation destinations may be found here (select 2019 for year and data science for major):
