<p>I am a rising senior and interested in Rutgers. I am unsure at this time what I want to major in. Perhaps Engineering. Not sure though. Can I apply for admission and not declare major? And after the freshman year decide what to do? Thanks.</p>
<p>Many colleges allow students to declare a major after the sophomore year. Some even declare a major then change it later on, so they generally have to complete an extra semester or two in order to complete their degree.</p>
<p>Check the rules on college websites (and specific departments) very carefully. Some majors at certain colleges are tough to get into (I think engineering is one of them) and if you aren’t accepted into the program as a freshman, you may not be admitted to it at all.</p>
<p>Not sure what this guy is on about^</p>
<p>If you apply to Rutgers you don’t really pick a major right away, you pick which school you want to accept admittance from but that’s about it. In your application you were able to apply to three schools. If the school of engineering admits you and you accept, they will advise you into taking classes that engineers should be taking to stay on track, but you are completely free to take whichever classes you want to. In April they will ask you to declare your major , you can pick an engineering major or say you want to switch to a different school, say Arts and Sciences. </p>
<p>If you cant narrow down which school you want, SOE or SAS or something else, you’d do best to accept an offer from the school of engineering because transferring out is easier than transferring in to the school.</p>
