Does choosing a rare major help in admission?

<p>I applied to brown early and i put my first choice as a BA in Modern Media and Culture. Since this is a rare major (concentration) at Brown, will it help with my application, especially if my ECs in hs are geared towards that area of study as well?</p>

<p>I think it will help you...colleges are always looking for a "well-rounded" undergrad pool, so you'll just add to it. Especially if your ECs have been geared to it as well, it looks genuine.</p>
