If I choose electrical and computer engineering within College of Engineering, am I bound to that major, or are they asking it just to see what applicants are interested in and allow students to change/set majors after being admitted?

Besides course requirements, Cornell engineering majors may have GPA minimums between 2.0 and 2.5, and specific course grade minimums between C- and B-, according to http://cornellengineeringhandbook.freeflowdp.com/cornellengineeringhandbook/9622955533597871/MobilePagedReplica.action?pm=2&folio=30#pg28 .
