<p>Is there a particular major or group of major for which it is easier to get into Berkeley?</p>
<p>If you apply anything into Letters and Sciences, you’re basically undeclared. For example, if you apply Ethnic Studies, it’s the same thing as being a Physics major. But if you apply as a Mechanical Engineering Major, you’re applying to the CoE which is a whole different beast completely. So if you think you’re borderline, just go in Undeclared and make the switch to whatever as long as you’re not banking on changing colleges later on. If you are, you might be in some trouble because change of college, while not impossible, is a major hassle.</p>
