Has anyone ever been rejected to EECS but was deferred to L&S for CS?

If so, how rare is this occurence?

I want to go to UCB, but I don’t want to be rejected.
My stats are below:
SAT I (breakdown): 800M 800CR 690W 8E 2290 Composite
Subject Test: 800 Math II, 770 Physics
ACT: Did not take
Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 3.96
Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): 1st decile rank
Senior Year Course Load: AP Calc BC, AP Physics C, AP Gov, AP Lit, AP German 4, APES
Major Awards (USAMO, Intel etc.): Nothing much other than honor roll/AP scholar award
Extracurricular (place leadership in parenthesis):
VP of Japanese Cultures Club
President of Anime Club
President/Founder of Psychology Club
Coding/Developed RPG using Java
Writing Short stories (wrote a transcript for HS play)
Job/Work Experience: None
Volunteer/Community service:
Volunteer for German American Society Association as Teacher aid.
Volunteer at library
Peer tutor

I am applying in-state.

I know people with higher stats that get rejected from EECS, so I am not sure what to do at this point. I have family near UCB, so going here would be awesome. It would be even more awesome if I got in through EECS…

Is it worth going to L&S undeclared? I am very sure I want to major in computer science. I am also applying to UIUC CS, UMichigan, UCSD, and CMU SCS.

It’s not rare. It just doesn’t happen at all. There is no such thing as “deferred” in UCB admissions.

Noone can be certain that you will or will not be accepted to CoE.

L&S is probably easier for frosh admission, but you need to get a 3.3 GPA in the prerequisite courses to declare the L&S CS major.
