<p>Are there any? I haven't seen anyone post anything about them. I applied for Pre-business.</p>
<p>In berkeley, School of L&S is biggest and it is typically harder to get into College of engineering or chemistry. I am not sure if they select based on specific majors such as prebusiness or premed because once you get into UCB, everyone is technically undeclared until your second year where you apply for your major. As a pre-business, you will applying for Haas School of Business your second year here and then that will determine if you are going to be business so don’t worry about that until you are here. Good luck.</p>
<p>Yes! Mainly Electronic Engineering and Computer Science. There are a few others listed on the Cal website. I don’t have the exact link.
EECS is a wildly compettive program because the average starting salary is 70k/year.
Something Cal looks for is demonstrated interest in a major - so if you’ve done things during highschool that demonstrate interest in bussiness, like taking Econ classes, that makes you look shiney.</p>
<p>To quote the Admissions FAQ from coe.berkeley.edu (the college of engineering)</p>
<p>EECS, Bioengineering and Engineering Undeclared are very popular and very competitive to gain admission.</p>
<p>I believe all three of these majors would fit the definition of ‘impacted’ majors.
with no second choices. If you applied to EEECS but don’t make the cut, they won’t even consider you for Engineering Science or any other Engineering major.</p>
<p>Instead, you can go to a community college and apply again as a junior – except I don’t know if there are any Community Colleges that have assist.org approved courses to meet all the lower division requirements for Berkeley Engineering. If you transfer as a junior, you will be pretty far behind.</p>
<p>There are so many straight A students that apply for these three majors, do you think that girls or minorities have an edge? I mean if a woman had the exact same high school transcript and test scores as a white man, would she get the spot? I guess it would depend on the essay and ECs. No two applications are ever identical.</p>
<p>For l&s</p>
<p>[L&S</a> Majors - Capped Majors](<a href=“http://ls-major.berkeley.edu/capped.html]L&S”>http://ls-major.berkeley.edu/capped.html)</p>
<p>CAL does not admit on major on L&S or biosci etc. However it does admit on major for engineer and chemistry college.</p>
<p>INFO from CAL admissions officer</p>
<p>Berkeley does not designate any major as “impacted.” The campus has long ago figured out that students change their minds constantly and that it’s silly to admit students based on major. Freshman admission is competitive by college (so all majors in College of Natural Resources are equally competitive); the only exception is engineering, where admission is competitive by major.</p>
<p>For pre-business, if you applied to College of Letters & Science, then your chance of getting in is the same as everyone else who applied to L&S.</p>
