<p>What happens to you if you apply undecided?
Do you graduate later?
When do you start choosing your major?</p>
<p>Being undecided really doesn't matter, as many students change their major at least once during college. You won't take longer to graduate unless you change your major in your last couple of years or don't plan your coursework well. That's something that advisors should be able to help you plan once in college. </p>
<p>At most schools you need to declare a major by the end of sophomore year. Except for a few colleges with 'open' curriculums, most schools have distributional requirements, which are classes that students must take in various disciplines (eg. social studies, science, humanities). These are usually completed in the first year or two, along with taking other courses either in your major or in an area you might want to major in.</p>
<p>The only time when selecting a major when applying as a freshman is important is when you need to be accepted by a particular department. For instance, at some schools you need to be accepted into the Architecture department as a freshman and will immediately begin a 5 year program. But for the vast majority of BA and BS degrees, this is not the case.</p>
