@Arpmom2009–
The Office of Student Research at U.C. Berkeley pesents data that supports the figure given at a recent admission tour (https://osr2.berkeley.edu/). If you follow the link to “Institutional Data”, you can see that UCB’s EECS department matriculated 150 new freshmen in 2007 (“New Freshmen by College and Major”. Another table showing applications by college and major indicates that 2,241 students had applied. According to my calculator, that’s a matriculation rate of about 7%.

I think your daughter could apply to the School of Engineering as an undelcared major (admit rates are higher)…but don’t take advice from me on this. Please call the department to confirm that she could declare EECS as a major after enrolling this way.

APOLOGIES to the MIT community for this detour into UCB territory!
