<p>At Berkeley the College of Engineering has a lower acceptance rate than the rest if the school (12% vs 20%). Additionally the College of Engineering admits by major with EECS, BioE, and engineering undeclared being the most selective majors. So from a pure numbers standpoint it does hurt your chances. However while people will tell you that only students with previous CompSci type experience have a shot at the EECS major, in my experience a decent GPA and test scores gives you a pretty solid shot. Out of the four EECS majors I know only one had prior experience.
Good luck! Only four days left!</p>
