<p>How feasible is it to declare a EECS major and to pursue pre-med?</p>
<p>I'm applying for freshman attendance and am interested in both.</p>
<p>Would I have a higher chance of acceptance if I declared a major in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology? </p>
<p>Also: How is the process for transferring into different majors?</p>
<p>It is not feasible. For the love of God pick one. </p>
<p>EECS is arguably the hardest major to get into. The CoE is more difficult to get into than Letters and Sciences in general. You are more likely to be accepted as an MCB major than an EECS student.</p>
<p>The process is arduous if you want to get into CoE, especially EECS. Transferring from CoE to Letters and Sciences is much easier however. </p>
<p>My advice: think long and hard whether or not you want to do EECS because it’s a tough major to do well in. The best students come to Berkeley for EECS because of its prestige. Pre-meds have trouble at Berkeley too though, but you’re more likely to get in if you apply l&s. But your chances of doing EECS are slim to none unless you’re outstanding. It’s not impossible, but it’s highly improbable.</p>
<p><em>Sigh</em> I know. I know. So much to choose from.</p>
<p>I guess I’ll ditch EECS and take it up as a hobby. Maybe come back to it later if I still have interest in it. </p>
<p>Medical school is my primary cause, and it seems biochem is the way to go. But I would much rather take physics, and I kind of hate chemistry. Haha.</p>
<p>Thanks man</p>
<p>You don’t get admitted to a major in L&S. Everyone in L&S gets admitted undeclared.</p>
<p>also EECS is a ***** grade wise… generally A’s are reserved for 25-30% of the class… and most students in EECS put in effort</p>
