Are alternate majors only considered if space is available?

I saw that Cal Poly SLO and Pomona allow you to select an alternate major. Are alternate majors only considered if space is available? For example, if my D selects Animal Science as her first choice at SLO and Dairy Science as her 2nd choice, and she does not get into Animal Science, would she only be considered for Dairy Science if space is available? (Or would she be on equal footing with all that chose Dairy Science as their 1st choice?)
