Is it tough to apply undecided and transfer into desirable programs as a student?

At some you can change freely. At some you can change, but your ability to have gotten that major n the first place may be taken into account. This prevents what’s referred to as back dooring. At some majors like CS are completely blocked.

The only school that I have heard of that looks back to whether one would have been admitted to the new major during frosh admission is Cal Poly SLO.

In other schools, changing into or declaring a major that is capacity limited is based on college courses and grades, and sometimes other things done as a college student (essays, extracurriculars).
