As cliche as it might sound, the one that you'll like more will be the easier one. I've looked at some of the work that Chem E's do and it really did not look appealing to me. I'm only a freshman right now but I'm handling the EECS material well so far though I probably won't be able to say the same for chemistry if I were Chem E. On another note, I had the same question when applying to Berkeley but eventually decided on EECS even though I thought I would be ok with Chem E. If your gpa is pretty high (4.3+ weighted or so) and SAT scores are pretty high (2200+ SAT or ACT equivalent), then you'll probably get into EECS, provided that you write a good essay. At that point, it doesn't matter which major you'll apply for, as you'll have a decent shot at any of the colleges in Berkeley. If you do get into EECS and find that you don't like it, you can switch out of the College of Engineering into the College of Chemistry. However, I know that switching INTO the College of Engineering is quite a challenge. Just throwing another piece of information out there. Which one do you think you’ll like more?
