Hi @scholar-_-!
Some majors are more competitive than others. There will be many more applicants for Computer Science as compared to something like History, due to which your chances get lowered.

As @Anonymous123 said, certain majors are more competitive than others. More people want to study & persue a career in Computer Science, than, say, Drama and Theatre.
