<p>Economics for me.</p>
<p>What about you? :)</p>
<p>Biology with focus on Molecular and Cell, and English. </p>
<p>Hopefully.</p>
<p>English (Creative Writing) & Economics :D</p>
<p>Probably Biology in Field of Study #1 (Molecular).
Or I might possibly do bioengineering. </p>
<p>I should probably decide soon :/</p>
<p>
Are you being sarcastic? One never knows these days. </p>
<p>Anyways you have 8 months until you start seriously thinking about your first classes and another year after that when people start seriously pursuing their major. Freshman year is IHUM/PWR (or SLE), introsems/activity classes/seminars, and intro classes, with a few exceptions maybe. As long as you know the general area for intro classes (easier for techies), which it seems you do, then you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>Engineering! Which humanities class is better for engineers and do any of them discuss classical Lit? Inferno’s one of my fave works.</p>
<p>Public Policy =]</p>
<p>is it more difficult to apply to stanford for engineering?</p>
<p>compSci! ;)</p>
<p>@dte000: Did you simply write “compSci” because you felt like writing it that way? Or because of its style in relation to programming? :P</p>
<p>CompSci/English for me if I get in.</p>
<p>
Write down whatever you think you might do. Don’t try to game it. Besides, if you put down English even though all your ECs indicate mechanical engineering, that won’t help you out. But if you put down English and have a ton of writing/reading ECs/awards/whatever, that may help a tiny bit because I think they’re trying to boost the strength of their humanities these days. </p>
<p>If you’re a pretty girl do engineering! There’s always a want for more attractive females.</p>

I’m not being sarcastic. Bioengineering and biology are in 2 completely separate schools and may require completely different classes. (there may be, for example, calculus for engineering majors and calculus for science majors).
I’ll at least wait until Admit Weekend to make any decisions</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I might minor in Bio. It’s the only area of science that I have a genuine interest in. :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well, yeah, no one’s going to be able to officially declaring their major right now lol. This is just supposed to be a fun discussion. :)</p>
<p>
Yes, this is one case where the intro classes are different for engineering (CME 100 series) versus others (Math 50 series). Depending on the major, the two may be transferable. I know a lot of engineers who did the 50 series, though I’m not as sure if it goes the other way too. Off the top of my head this is the only one. Until you get to the ENGR intro classes, the other science classes you do will be applicable to both majors. </p>
<p>I’m just trying to say you don’t have to be stressing. I’d check out classes for each one during admit weekend, and chances are CME/Math 50 series will be the only real decision you have to make for autumn quarter (a good reason to get PWR in winter/autumn is because by spring quarter you’ll have a more solidified idea for things- it sucks to do a class and then realize it won’t count, whereas a similar class in place of it would have). That’s what I’m guessing. Obviously there are exceptions, especially in CS which is kind of it’s own thing.</p>
<p>The reason I advocate delaying is that, though some people know right away their major and stick with it, this seems like the exception. Many people will know a general field (biology related, engineering, policy, language, etc.). So say you want to do something biology related, then you could do biomechanical engineering, bioengineering, biology, humbio, and a couple others. It really doesn’t make sense to pigeon-hole yourself into one of these early on (for a lot of reasons), and there are ways to keep your options open for as long as possible (early PWR quarter, math, language-requirement, etc.). Sometimes you may find a fairly different field you want to go into (commonly CS). </p>
<p>It’s not like it’s a bad thing to know right away what you want to do, it’s just that in many cases there’s little reason to have to make “no-turning back” type decisions early on. Especially if you have fall quarter PWR and want to take some form of math, then it’s recommended at most to only add one more class to your schedule. If you do add one more class, you could just make it something like chem31x that is applicable to like everything.</p>
<p>^i would highly recommend taking chem 31x autumn quarter if you are at all decent at chem and are even slightly considering anything health/chem/med/engineering related. starting chem late is a biiootch.</p>
<p>^why is this, good sir/ma’am?</p>
<p>Probably bioengineering, though I have been considering something neuroscience related as well.</p>
<p>Biology…maybe some Psych (I enjoy brain and cognitive sciences) (:</p>
<p>Yay brains. I think I’ll do bioengineering or comp sci and take some neurosci classes through the grad school.</p>
<p>PSYCHOLOGY!!</p>
<p>So psyched for it too.
Haha sorry that was lame ;)</p>
