How Does the University of California Major and Alternative Major Preference Work In Practice? Strategies?

So if the applicant wants to major in the College of Engineering, then they need to select that specific major as their 1st choice/primary major and then a CCS major as an alternate although both majors would be selective??

Which I agree does not match the information listed on the website since it refers to a non-selective major as an alternate.

I am also assuming the applicant would be only offered the COE major or the CCS major, both majors would not be an option. You might want to message @ccsfaculty whom often posts on CC if they could answer your question.
