<p>Calculate your GPA the way UC wants it, and use [University</a> of California: StatFinder](<a href=“http://statfinder.ucop.edu%5DUniversity”>http://statfinder.ucop.edu) to find where your stats stand at the various UCs (allowing for the fact that it tends to get more competitive every year).</p>

<p>However, note that different majors may be different in terms of admissions selectivity. The different possible majors:</p>

<ul>
<li>L&S, undeclared (all freshmen to L&S become undeclared, regardless of major indicated on the application)</li>
<li>Engineering, each individual major (BioE, CE, EECS, EM, EP, IEOR, ME, MSE, NE, BioE/MSE, EECS/MSE, EECS/NE, ME/MSE, ME/NE, MSE/NE)</li>
<li>Engineering, undeclared</li>

<p>Note that you cannot enter the business major as a freshman. You have to enter in some other college/major, then apply to transfer to the business major, generally in your second year after completing the prerequisites.</p>
