<p>On the common app, could declaring a major that is popular as my possible major hurt me? </p>

<p>the common app only lets you select one thing, and i'm between political science and history. political science is pretty common. i don't want to check undecided. </p>

<p>does it matter?</p>

<p>anyone have an idea?</p>

<p>who's SL?</p>

<p>the general idea that it shouldn't matter, otherwise studfents can pick a really obscure major and switch it on their seconda yaer</p>
