I'd say, "Brian is applying to Cal Poly, where he wants to major in Engineering."

I'm not sure you'd call this dependent, in the sense of restrictive. It's definitely non-restrictive.

Maybe, "Brian wants to apply to a school where he can major in Engineering." Now it's restrictive.

I hope you see the difference.
