<p>Since I have a broad range of interests, I would like to know which one is the easiest to get into (my gpa is not that great). </p>
<p>Art (History of)
Art (Practice of)
Asian American Studies
German
Linguistics
English
History</p>
<p>I like art and I've done it as a hobby, but Ive never taken a class. Everybody thinks I should major in art, but I'm not sure that's the right major at berkeley. I've also only picked it up recently, so I don't have a portfolio or anything since I've never taken a class in it. however, I will consider it. I took and am taking german, and I wouldn't mind majoring in it in college since I am interested in linguistics. I also like english-history related majors, so that would be great as well. But I'm afraid those two majors are too competetive. So which major will be the best pick for the easiest admission into Berkeley?</p>
<p>^wait, sorry, how is that possible? does that mean if I don't apply as an engineering major, then I HAVE to apply as undeclared? doesn't make sense...</p>
<p>It doesn't really matter what major you apply under as all those majors are in the College of Letters and Sciences. You apply to the College of Letters and Sciences, and all entering freshmen are considered "undecided" in that you don't officially declare your major until around sophomore-junior year. Which major you write down should have no effect on your admissions.</p>
<p>In the College of Letters and Science, choice of major does not affect your admissions. Unless you're in a different college (e.g. Engineering,) any rumor that one major is easier to get into than another is just that -- a rumor. I remember I was worrying about this issue last year, but I looked it up and on the Cal admissions page somewhere it says in fine print that they don't look at what major you choose if you're in L&S.</p>
<p>applying to a different "college" might alter your chances, but within the same college, major choice does not matter. everyone is compared to each other regardless of their major choice. i heard the only exception is majors that require an audition and engineering. CoE actually looks at which major choice you put down.</p>
<p>Right. In fact, I believe EECS is the most difficult engineering major to get into as a freshman. Your chances vary slightly depending on which engineering major you put down.</p>
