What is harder...applying to UCLA as undeclared or CS for the school of engineering? Can i choose CS easily if i get in undeclared?

switching to CS is possible but will require a good amount of effort and keeping up your grades while meeting the reqs. switching from undeclared engineering is probably a lot easier than undeclared in general since you’ll already be in the engineering school

The rates kinda change each year but here's the most recent: https://www.seasoasa.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/seasoasa/2020-UCEE-Report.pdf. It looks like undeclared(8.2%) had a slightly lower acceptance rate than CS, but by 0.4%. CSE on the other hand was 10.3%.
Haha so that's actually exactly what I did. I had the same dilemma and I really wanted to get into UCLA so I thought CSE would give me a slightly better chance than CS. Turns out the difference was marginal (maybe 1% difference? and it varies each year, CSE had a lower rate than CS the year before me I think) so tbh it's not a huge deal. Though I will say that CS and CSE at UCLA are almost identical majors other than like a handful of classes, so I can basically switch to CS anytime (whereas switching from a different major into CS would be much harder.)
tldr; it doesn't make that big of a difference honestly
