^That depends. If a college admits by school or department (e.g. College of Business, Comp Sci Department), the selected school or major will be a major factor. For the highly selective schools that do not admit by sub college or department, the indicated major is less important because they understand kids change their minds/interests, although I am sure they are trying to create a balance of academic interests and talent in each class (STEM, non STEM, writers, artists, musicians, socially/politically active, entrepreneurs, etc…)
