Is it hard to transfer into DS？

Hi! I’m an incoming freshman for Fall 2026, currently admitted as a Biology (Bioinformatics) major. I’m interested in switching into Data Science, but I’ve heard it’s pretty competitive and I’m a bit worried about my chances.

From what I understand, the capped major application uses a point system. Since I’m an instate student (not Pell-eligible and not first-gen), it seems like the maximum points I can get is 2.

Does this put me at a disadvantage compared to other applicants?
