<p>I am still a sophomore but I am confused about the application process. I was reading through the application for Michigan and they were talking about applying to specific schools like business, art & design, education, etc. Do I have to make a decision on a major this early, or was I mistaking that application for another one?</p>
<p>Hi!</p>
<p>Some Universities have students apply to the various colleges (like engineering, etc) because each college/major might have some different req’ts. Such as…the College of Engineering might have higher requirements for math and sciences. </p>
<p>However, not all universities require you to apply to a college. Many let you just apply to the university without declaring a major and without applying directly to a college.</p>
<p>If UMich is your “top school,” then you have more than a year to figure out which college to apply to. UMich has a College of Literature, Sciences, and the Arts which offers a wide variety of majors. [Literature</a>, Science, and the Arts | University of Michigan](<a href=“http://www.umich.edu/units_lsa.php]Literature”>http://www.umich.edu/units_lsa.php)</p>
<p>What are your favorite subjects? Do you have a career in mind.</p>
<p>I am thinking about a business major (Ross) but I also enjoy subjects like psychology, astronomy, journalism, and history. But for Ross, they make you apply for preferred admission, so I assume that it would be like doing it a year early when you should apply end of freshman year?</p>
<p>Also, is the LSA college like a 4 year honors program or is it for specific subjects? Could I attend it without intending to major in something like foreign language?</p>
