<p>When you are applying to Cornell, you are just applying to a specific college right? Does choosing a popular major hurts your chances? I just want to go to the Art and Sciences College. Will choosing a popular major makes it harder for me to get in?</p>
<p>It can. They don’t want to admit a **** ton more bio majors than they already do. </p>
<p>What’s really important is that you have a dedicated interest in your major. I was lucky. I put philosophy as my major, and now I’m a bio major. I’ve always been a science guy, my test scores reflect that (as well as my inept reading skills) so I’m not quite sure how I got past that, other than the fact that I did have some fairly good essays.</p>
<p>i want to do like a duo Economic-Philosophy, Economic-Statistic or Math-Philosophy. <-Are those majors hard to get into?
P.S.</p>
<p>Econ maybe. Math and Philosophy, probably not too bad.</p>
<p>But remember, what major you put isn’t going to get you in or get you rejected. Your application as a whole is what will get you in, not whether you picked a certain major or not, because they know most people will change anyway. </p>
<p>Just put whatever it is you’re interested in and hope for the best. I guess if it came down to two different ones, pick the more obscure one, but beyond that, it’s negligible.</p>
<p>how about sociology?</p>
