Thanks for your time and help. I want to know which one is harder to get in at UCI - Software Engg or Computer Science? By chance, do you know of the minimum recommended GPA for these two? Thanks. Any other info that can help me choose one or other?
Software Engineering at UCI has a lower acceptance rate than CS but also less applicants apply for Software Engineering. Here is a link to show the # of applicants/# of admits and # enrolled up to 2014.

Other than UCLA, I have never seen any GPA data for each major posted.
Rule of thumb for STEM/competitive majors is you want to be at or above the average in stats.
For UCI that would be a UC GPA of 4.03, ACT of 28 and SAT of 1878.
