Does it matter what my intended major is?

It depends on where you apply.

But yes, if you are worried about your chances of getting in choose a major that is easier to be accepted into.

Take UT Austin for example. The business school is VERY competitive while the Liberal Arts school is known to be easier to get into.

Some majors will only consider you if you put them as your first choice. While some don’t care.

If you want to major engineering or business I would suggest listing it as your first choice, and then list your back up as second.
