EECS Chances

[thebugbug]

<p>I'm applying to Berkeley in 7 days, and I need to decide between L&S CS and EECS.
I would prefer EECS, but I know it could kill my chances to get in at all if I apply EECS.
SAT:2320
CR 730 M 790 WR 800
SATII: MATH II 780 CHEM 780 US History 780
GPA UW: 3.95
UC GPA W (uncapped): 4.65</p>

CSF Tutoring
KIWIN'S
Track & Field, Cross Country
Guitar</p>

<p>So, I know my grades and test scores are great for Berkeley, but I don't have ANY ECs that demonstrate interest in engineering, which I know is an important factor. Would you say it's worth it to apply EECS for me? or just go with L&S CS?</p>

<p>Do you want to emphasize EE or CS in your upper division major courses?</p>

<p>If EE, then EECS makes more sense. If CS, then either major will do (although for L&S CS, you will apply to L&S where all freshmen start undeclared; L&S CS is currently not a capped major).</p>
