UC Davis Major Acceptance Rate Differences?

Does anyone have any knowledge on whether or not UC Davis has different acceptance rates for different majors? I'm trying to figure out which program I should apply for.

While UC Davis does consider your major when reviewing applications, it's important to remember that acceptance rates for specific majors can vary from year to year based on factors such as demand and departmental capacity. Generally speaking, some majors tend to be more competitive than others, such as Engineering, Computer Science, and Biological Sciences. However, the overall selectivity of the University should still be considered when applying.

Instead of focusing solely on acceptance rates, think about aligning your application with the program that best suits your academic and professional interests. When you choose a major that excites you and matches your strengths, you'll have a much better chance of demonstrating your passion and competence during the application process.

Finally, remember that UC Davis, like other UC schools, practices holistic admissions. This means that your GPA, test scores (for schools that still consider them), essays, letters of recommendation, extracurricular activities, and other factors will all play a role in the admissions decision. To increase your chances of admission, make sure your application reflects your strengths, passion, and genuine interest in your chosen major.

Good luck with your application!
