<p>When they ask you what you want to major in, what if you put something down that's not available at all of the schools you're applying to? For example, putting down "Business" which would be acceptable for Washington University but not for Northwestern... I guess I'm just wondering how the submissions work. Thanks! :-)</p>
<p>You don't declare a major on the common app.
The school's supplements usually asks for a specific major</p>
<p>on the common app it is best to indicate your career plans and change it with the school to fit their programs.</p>
<p>Also, there's a thread somewhere that's all Common App questions.</p>
<p>Oh, my bad on that one then. :-) And thanks, I'll check for that option.</p>
