Does it matter what my intended major is?

Let’s say the major is impacted, or the intended major is very competitive/popular (engineering opposed to cultural studies). If I chose this major, would it be harder to get into the school, or does it play no role in the admissions process?

I ask specifically about the UC schools, but am interested in how it pertains to all of them (privates).
Thank you.
