<p>Should I notify Harvard about the fact that I changed my mind over my intended major, from Economics to Government?</p>
<p>Do they even care about what you answer to that question?</p>
<p>Also, my SAT math scores weren't as good as I expected them to be(and Economics is very quantitative...), so would it be appropriate to e.mail them?</p>
<p>I don't think you need to notify them. The schools are all being bombarded with mail and email, and this isn't all that important a change, anyway. Your intended major isn't really a factor in admissions, and I think they know that most kids change their minds.</p>
<p>Economics being one of the most popular majors at Harvard, I suspect it may hurt admission chances.</p>
<p>hmm i have a similar question. when i applied EA Yale i put down maths as my intended major.now i hate maths and i discovered that i got a 5 in HL IB Maths, which i am getting remarked. but now i wouldnt want to do maths at uni anyway, so should i tell yale? i envisage that adcoms wouldnt be too impressed if you got a 5 in a subject that's your intended major...</p>
<p>I just told them in a friendly way to change it. I suppose that the people in the "fileroom" are probably students anyway, so adcoms might not even notice that you got it changed.</p>
<p>Economics isn't that heavy math. It's quantitative but it's also alot of theory and reading. If your intentions are to become a so called "grunt" (corporate finance analyst) you don't have to worry about maths.</p>
<p>I don't think intended major really matters in the application, unless it is something smaller with fewer majors, and you have demonstrated interest in the subject through your ec's or other work. I can't see how Harvard would care if you changed from econ to gov., as they are two of the most popular majors there.</p>
