<p>actually, its the College of Letters and Sciences (aka "L&S). But, to answer your question, the adcoms do not care what major applicants put down for L&S, since most kids change their major 2-3 times. So they do not rank the applicants by dept in L&S; of course, engineering is a different matter.</p>
<p>Cal’s poli sci department is great, btw. You might e-mail the department and ask how many grads they had last year.</p>
