<p>If the student does get into Berkeley in the College of Letters and Science, s/he will have to then apply to transfer to the bioengineering major in the College of Engineering; this is a highly competitive admission process.</p>
<p>In general, if there are differences between divisions or majors for freshman admission selectivity, there are also competitive admission processes to change into the division or major that is harder to get into as a freshman. There is no “free lunch back door” by choosing a less popular major.</p>
