I have a friend who was waitlisted at Berkeley and UCLA. In the end only Berkeley accepted him off the waitlist and he didn’t get into UCLA. As far as selectivity and prestige go both are pretty comparable, so you shouldn’t feel less about only getting into UCLA it’s a really good school. Worse case scenario if the kids in stem are too savage at UCLA you can switch majors or transfer. Most people switch majors 3-4 times. My dad transferred from Purdue to UCLA for his undergrad and got a masters degree in education and a law degree because he didn’t know what he wanted to do. Going to college is a journey, I wouldn’t worry too much right now about what you want/can study and where you go to do it. You’ll probably be really happy at UCLA
