<p>yes? if so, that is pretty unfair, isnt it?</p>
<p>I'd think it would be the opposite, undecided shows that you have no idea what you want to do at their college. I put atmospheric science as my intended major I think it helped because it showed them that I was driven to do something. I got into all my colleges, so I think it helped.</p>
<p>I sort of thought it would hurt too. at first I was planning on going undecided but I picked something so I wouldn't be undecided and it helped to have something to talk about in the interviews.</p>
<p>I don't think it would help you, but it wouldn't hurt you. The majority of students who go to college list "undecided."</p>
<p>I think it depends. Some colleges like undecided because then they can imagine them fitting into any number of programs that still has spaces needing to be filled... I think. I may be wrong.</p>
<p>I've heard from multiple admissions people that it actually hurts.</p>
<p>Undecided does not mean you don't know what course you want to do, but that you can not choose between all the "amazing" majors the school offers.</p>

</ul>
<p>what does that mean</p>
<p>for some schools it hurts. one admissions person told me specifically not to put undecided because "its the most popular, and thus most competitive, major." she suggested you just put soemthing, esp since it doesnt actualy matter once you get there. some schools dont care though.</p>
<p>If your intended major is a popular one like economics or political science, I think its better to put down undecided. I don't know; just my thought</p>
