Applying "Undecided"

<p>Will applying to a specific university as "undecided" or anything of that sort give you a higher chance of acceptance? I was talking to my friends about it and one of them said that it's way easier to get accepted if you go in undecided than choosing a major beforehand like majors related to business.</p>

<p>Is this really true? If so, why doesn't everyone do this? And what happens if you decide that you want to go into business afterwards? Do I have to stay an extra year at college?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>For some schools, yes. Everyone doesn’t do this because they understand that business and other programs have very specific courses they need to take from the start, unless, as you said, they don’t mind taking an extra year(s) to complete their degree. They may also be applying to the program more so than the school, because the program within the school may be renowned, but the rest of the school may not hold any particular appeal to them outside of the program, so there is no point in gaining an increased chance of being accepted into a school that they otherwise would not care to attend.</p>

<p>most schools don’t care since most people, even if they apply with a major, change it later on anyways</p>
