You don’t OFFICIALLY declare a major at Michigan until your 2nd semester of your sophomore year.

“Advanced selection” is required upon being admitted to CS at Michigan, which the OP has already been admitted, but one relatively easily choose another major within the CoE or switch over to LSA. OTOH, Ross Business School would be difficult, but not impossible.

Pretty much the same thing at Cal Poly SLO. Switching majors to the Business School (or Construction Management, ARCH, LARCH) would be difficult, but within the CoE (or other colleges), switching majors can be done with good grades, though Software Engineering could be difficult.
