Changing majors from CS to MechE?

Hi guys,

Under a few circumstances, I’ve realized that CS isn’t the major for me (at least, not as a single major)–unfortunately, I was admitted to Berkeley as CS. If I go to Cal, I want to either transfer into MechE or add it as a simultaneous degree; does anyone know what the chances are of me getting into MechE?

According to the Berkeley Engineering website, the admissions criteria and requirements for admittance to either are the same. I’m particularly concerned about my ability to get the two engineering classes I’d need since they say that I need to complete the freshman course requirements for MechE in order to apply for transfer/simultaneous degree, so insight on an L&S student’s ability to get these two classes or likelihood of admittance into the program is welcomed.

The stress that’s resulting from all of this is only doubled because I have to decide on whether or not I want to go to Cal by this Wednesday because I was admitted off of waitlist
