<p>My D visited UDel and met w/head of Animal Science dept as well as two animal science majors. SHe was VERY impressed with the dept and students but very upfront in saying she is very undecided - and not totaly committed yet to animal science. We are OOS so I am wondering if she has a better chance getting accepted as a declared animal science major or going in undecided? And if she does declare animal science and the decides to change later on how difficult is that? Thanks!</p>
<p>I think it depends in your daughter stats. I don't think it is to her benefit to apply undecided at Univ Of Delaware unless she has great grades and super sats. My D applied undecided 3 years ago, was waitlisted and then only offered admission starting the spring semester. A few kids she knows who had lower grades, rank and lower sats were offered admission. I think the reason is they declared a major. I think the undecided pool is too large at Univ of Delaware. By the way my D good friend is an animal sciece major at Delaware and loves it. She said the classes are small, and you get to know alot of the kids because they all seem to be in the same classes.</p>
<p>I'm OOS but not in animal science, but one of the girls on my floor is OOS too and she likes animal science a lot. I think you must have pretty good stats to be thinking about applying to that program because it is hard to get into. I think the problem would be going in undeclared and then trying to get into animal science. That would be hard. If you got in to animal science then didn't like it I think you wouldn't have a problem changing your major to something else but that depends what major you wanted. It would be hard to switch right into something like nursing or chemical engineeering!</p>
