<p>I'm just curious if colleges take into account our prospective majors- I've heard (in high school) that kids who plan on pursuing "smaller" or "rarer" majors may have better shots, since schools often have a more difficult time filling certain programs. I applied to all schools with medieval studies majors, since that is what I wish to pursue, and at this point in time, I'm just curious to know if that will help or hurt me..or have no effect. Thanks.</p>
<p>you are probably in a good position...</p>
<p>Yeah, it will help, especially if you really show passion for such an "exotic" topic.</p>
<p>Right. Thank you for your thoughts.</p>
<p>You should consider that they may also need/want less people to major in medieval studies.</p>
<p>That's also possible, though I hope that my prospective major wouldn't work against me. I'd hope that it can only further my position ,and if it turn out that the program is in fact very small, I would be admitted as an undeclared major.</p>
<p>That's what I am worried about, as well. Except, I want to apply as a Biology or Biology-related major... and I know that everyone and their mother applies under this major... If you apply as a Biology major, is it the same as applying under a field of Biology? Say, Psychology? Or Genetics?</p>
