<p>I intend on majoring in international relations and know the program is strong here. Are admissions more selective for students majoring in international relations or is everyone admitted to the school regardless of major? Thanks for feedback.</p>

<p>Regardless of major though you may indicate an interest in a specific major. I don't think it makes a difference whether you go in calling yourself completely undecided, or indicating an interest. The only thing that matters when it comes to undergraduate admissions is whether you're applying to Liberal Arts & Sciences, Engineering, or one of the five-year dual degree programs (BFA, BMus).</p>

<p>your stats so far sound pretty typical of a tufts student. i would recommend you emphasize your community service. tufts is real big on worldly values and internationalism, so incorporating that would be a plus. if you go ED, i think you'll have a pretty good shot of getting in since the school knows you're willing to go all in for tufts.</p>
