<p>Hi, </p>
<p>I know I want to do something with chemistry and that I want to go to UCB. But I'm not sure about chem or chemE. I don't want to apply with one and destroy my chances of even getting into UCB, so do you know which one has higher acceptance rates? </p>
<p>How easy is it to switch majors?</p>
<p>Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!</p>
<p>Be aware that chemical engineering has better job and career prospects at the bachelor’s degree level than chemistry does.</p>
<p>Cal’s CoChem is awesome – almost lac-like. But then it doesn’t do engineering. If Eng is your goal, you should apply to CoEng. Transferring into CoEng is extremely difficult. The transfer slots are ‘saved’ for jucos.</p>
<p>Blue, both chemistry and chemical engineering are in the College of Chemistry.</p>
<p>OP, I’m not exactly sure of admit rates for these majors, but my gut says chemistry is slightly easier admission wise just due to the fact that there are fewer chem majors. </p>
<p>Switching between chemistry and chemical engineering is pretty easy…same general courses and within the same college.</p>
