<p>If I applied to some really obscure major, would I have a better chance of getting in? </p>
<p>Keep in mind that I wouldn't do this just for the sake of getting in; I'm actually genuinely interested in one of the more obscure majors.</p>
<p>all majors under the college of letters and science are considered equally - you’re actually applying to the college of L&S, not to your specific major in it.</p>
<p>Oh, bummer. Thanks!</p>
<p>this is not the case for transfers correct? Because each major has its own requirement as well as gpa averages.</p>
<p>That’s correct. Transfer admission is competitive by major.</p>
