Common App Future Plan

How terrible is it to put “undecided” for future career plans. I’m considering computer science but also theater, philosophy or an academic career. I just don’t know but I don’t want to look flaky. I’m also afraid to put computer science because it is so impacted everywhere.

It shouldn’t hurt you that much. Most college students don’t have a job plan yet, so you shouldn’t worry about it that much. It’s mostly just for data collection and shouldn’t have a major effect on your application.

I’m having trouble with it too, and I was wondering: what if I choose “other” and put something like “physics-loving novelist who aspires to be an entrepreneur” or something odd?
