<p>I was thinking about applying Biology with alternate undecided as my major to UCLA and Biology for Berkeley. But I'm not completely sure about what I want to do so my major doesn't really matter that much to me. Do either of these schools admit different rates per major? Any help would be appreciated. </p>
<p>Everything in STEM at the UC’s is impacted, so you have to be good and competitive.</p>
<p>Yes, in both cases. Look through their websites to determine which schools are impacted. Conventional wisdom is going from undecided --> impacted major is more difficult than applying to the impacted major. This is worth checking out.</p>
<p>For Berkeley for sure, and I think for UCLA, for Letters and Science, the major you put doesn’t matter. At the UC Davis tour, the guide suggested having your alternative major be from a different “school” (ie L&S, engineering, etc…) for a better chance of getting accepted. </p>

<p>Actually, most science other than computer science, and math, are often not impacted any more so than the campuses, unlike engineering often is (there are no technology majors at UCs).</p>
<p>The main biology majors at Berkeley are in the College of Letters and Science, which does not admit by major and has all frosh start undeclared. Declaring one of the L&S biology majors just means passing the prerequisites; they do not require higher GPAs or admission processes to declare the major.</p>
