Would you consider either of these majors easier to get into?

At UCB, Political Science had 1,236 applicants, 258 admits, and an admit gpa range of 3.69-3.95.

Legal Studies had 188 applicants, 38 admits, and an admit gpa range of 3.61-3.94.

The admit rates are so close 20.8% vs 20.2% so it is a wash. Select the major that interests you most and you have the major requirements completed.

Thanks! I’ve been doing the Political Science tract, but plan on law school so I got a little excited when I found out I had the major prerequisites for Legal Studies, too. But maybe I should stick with political science to make my PIQ about major easier, since I’m applying for political science at other UCs.
