I’ve heard that applying for certain majors at the harder UC’s (UCB, UCLA, UCSD) makes it more difficult to get in.

More specifically, I’ve heard that EECS (my preferred major) is much harder to get into Cal than say, Architecture. (same thing i’ve heard with BioEngineering/Business/Undeclared).

Is there any truth to these rumors? And if the admissions process is more difficult, does it only vary by college(arts&letters vs. engineering) or by specific majors.
