<p>Is it considerably harder if i apply engineering to these schools over their colleges of letters and sciences?</p>
<p>And even if i do make the school without applying for their engineering school, is it true that its nearly impossible to switch majors and enter the engineering department?</p>
<p>thanks a lot :)</p>
<p>All I know is that it's considerably harder if you apply to Berkeley as Engineering Undeclared or EECS.</p>
<p>yes to both those questions. it is EXTREMELY difficult to get into UCB engineering (UCLA is only slightly easier), as it is ranked in the top 3 in the country. LS has a higher admittance rate, but the requirements are still high. Also, admissions officers are wise to kids trying to switch majors after applying to a different section only because it is easier, so transferring to a different program is tough. You have to maintain a great GPA, and still have the scores, etc. to get in.</p>
