<p>Debating between my first choice major on my college application. I am interested in accounting, but also take great interest in Finance. Since I plan to get a masters in business, I will probably go for a 5 year masters in business, and therefore end up double majoring in the two. I know the two are similar.
Just wondering, is there a particular major that appeals to college admissions more? Meaning, will they accept an accounting student over a finance student (or vice versa)?</p>
<p>The college has a major called business undecided also. Which would be ideal so I can see what I like best before I entirely commit to a certain major. Would I be better off putting this? Does this at all hurt (or help) my chances of admission?</p>
<p>It makes not difference at all. I’ve heard admissions officers say that they pay no attention to intended major since on average half of the students who apply with a major in mind end up changing while they are in college. As long as you apply to the business school you will be fine. You won’t actually declare a major until (probably) the end of your second semester of sophomore year.</p>
<p>I agree. I would be shocked if admissions officers took ‘intended major’ seriously. The only possible exception might be if you are an underrepresented demographic for a certain major that the school is trying to recruit for or something, but I don’t know if that’s actually true.</p>
