I’m waitlisted at UC Davis & UC San Diego for Biomedical Engineering major with 2170 SAT and 4.2 UC weighted GPA. UC Davis is my 1st preference school.

Lately I’ve developed an interest in Computer Science as well. So I’m considering mentioning Computer Science as an alternate major in my waitlist essay. I was just wondering if this increases my chance of getting accepted as I’m showing some flexibility and not requesting for most demanding/popular major (i.e. BME)

Any thoughts would be highly appreciated.
