Is Economics at Berkeley cut-throat competitive?

<p>So I got into Berkeley as a Stats major and I may switch to Economics.</p>

<p>So is Economics cut-throat competitive like the pre-med majors or engineering?</p>

<p>What about Statistics? Would that be a way easier major or what?</p>

<p>Keep in mind that since I'm a transfer I'll go straight into upper division courses.</p>
