Summary:
I just started Senior Year of high school, so all of this information is as of the beginning of Senior Year. I am applying Early Action in October. I intend on applying to the College of LSA as Undecided.
Disclaimers:
I know I’ve already made a chances thread for this University, but that was at the end of Junior Year (several months ago) and it was for a different college within the University. Now, I have some new information as well, so I thought it was time to make another chances thread.
I am applying to LSA Undecided even though I plan on declaring Computer Science major later on. This is because my primary goal at University is not an undergraduate major, but the completion of Pre-Med so I can apply to Medical School. Applying to LSA Undecided allows me to choose a biology/bodily science related major if I need to do so early on so that I can be a better Medical School Applicant. Applying to the College of Engineering would lock me into Engineering Majors, and I’m not dead set on Computer Science as a major as of now.
