<p>When you check off a major on the Common App, are you committing to that? I know I want to go into the school of social sciences, but I'm not sure which major. Can I just pick one? Is it binding?</p>
<p>no.</p>
<p>This is specifically for Northeastern btw</p>
<p>Admissions at Northeastern are done by college within the university.</p>
<p>Once you are accepted, your accepted student portal has an option to request to change major. For most majors, this isn’t a problem, even between colleges or switching from undeclared. Some of the more competitive majors might be more challenging to transfer into, such as nursing, PT, engineering, or international business (just a few examples, don’t take those as gospel).</p>
<p>In general, pick whichever interests you at this point and don’t stress about it.</p>
