    Could you please elaborate on what are the 'issues' while changing majors?
    Actually most universities list embedded related subjects in 'electrical and computer engineering' program,but in the computer engg track.Would that also cause any problems?
    Also for my profile,how are my chances of getting in
    Virginia tech or
    Amherst, Massachusetts??

    The issues are application rejections, visa rejection and stuff, as far as your problem is concerned you are taking it too harshly, embedded always comes under ECE dept and not Comp dept, so chill there is no need to shift majors.
