First of all, did you apply to L&S CS? Please note that you are not in CS yet. You can only petition for the major once you complete 3 required courses with 3.3 GPA.
Secondly, if you don’t want to do CS and prefer ME, why didn’t you apply for ME in the first place? Transferring from L&S to COE is not going to be easy.
With that being said, you can stick with your current plan of transferring to or doubling major in ME. Even if you don’t get into COE, you can consider minor in ME. However, you still need 3.0 GPA in prerequisite courses to be considered for ME minor.
You have lots of unknown going to Cal.
Which school did you plan to go before getting off waitlist at Cal?
