Does it matter what my intended major is?

No, you should list the school you would like to be admitted into, or you risk getting stuck in a college without your intended major. If, for example, you apply to the College of Arts and Sciences, you can’t major in engineering. You would then need to reapply as a transfer to the engineering school to major in engineering.

In short, you can’t beat the system by choosing a less selective major, because your other intended major is in an entirely different school, with an entirely different admissions process.
