<p>When universities tell you to choose your top 3 preferred majors, is it a good idea to choose all 3 even if you do not really want to pursue the last 2, or choose only 1 you really want and leave the other 2 "undecided"?</p>
<p>Especially Stanford?</p>
<p>There’s nothing wrong with saying undecided. US colleges in general, don’t want to limit your ability to explore and they know many students change majors. </p>
<p>For the colleges (Stanford included), it gives them only a rough planning range. </p>
<p>Why don’t you do this? List your pref major and list 2 others that you’d consider (given the right cirucmstances). Nothing wrong with that. You’re not committed, regardless.</p>
