<p>That gives me some hope :)</p>

<p>I want to major in Economics (WCAS). Does this make admissions more competitive for me? (I’ve heard that economics is very popular)</p>

<p>Would applying undecided make it less difficult to get in?</p>

<p>Great chances. Out of curiosity, where are you from?</p>

<p>Saying that you have an interest in studying economics should not affect your application. Since an applicant’s statement of potential major is completely non-binding in an arts and sciences school (at some other schools it could make a difference), it almost never matters what you identify as an intended major.</p>
