A few questions (mainly about alternate majors):


Is putting a major down as an alternate major going to hurt my chances of being admitted to that major?
Let’s say I picked computer science and engineering as my first choice major and computer science as my alternate, and get rejected from the computer science and engineering major. How high are my chances of getting admitted into the computer science major?
Is computer science and engineering significantly harder to get into than computer science?
How hard is it to switch to the college of engineering from the college of letters and science? How hard is it the other way round?
Which of these is more likely to get me admitted:


First choice major: computer science and engineering
Alternate major: computer science

OR

First choice major: computer science
Alternate major: computer science and engineering

Or is there no difference?
