Is it better to apply “undecided” to have a better chance of admission and then transfer to ID once enrolled?
it is best to do early action for ID
If you are sure of ID as your major, I don’t see any advantage to applying undecided. I also recommend applying early action. Last year the ID program made their selections during Dec-Jan and they notified students in late January. I’m not sure of this but I wouldn’t be surprised if the ID program is capped to a certain class size and getting in later would be difficult.
my daughter’s boyfriend applied undecided and tried to get into ID as a transfer and they did not admit him because there were so many incoming freshman. he ended switching to DAAP his sophmore year as an urban planning major. it also caused him to be a year behind in his major. you want to apply directly to DAAP ID
