<p>So all my life in high school I have focused on music courses. My academics are strong but not as strong as my involvement in music. I have a 3.0 unweighted and a 4.8 weighted GPA so I'm not the strongest individual in my core classes. I'm in IB as well but I was thinking of switching my HL elective from psychology to music because I don't feel as confident in Psychology as I do in music. Plus I am chorus captain so it gives me more class openings to be involved Most people would think I'm going to study music but I actually am not. I'm applying as a health science major which I love as well but would my large amount of music involvement look strange for the admissions office? My science grades are average but I'm not failing for sure. </p>
<p>no, most colleges do not care what your potential major is. A lot of students change their major one or more times during their first to years of college. Unless you are applying to a special program, it won’t matter. The only thing that you have to worry about at some universities is which school to apply to (college of arts and sciences vs engineering). But have no fear, the music will be looked at favorably as it shows dedication! I set a school record by taking 7 music classes by the time I graduated (along with being in 8-9 ensembles by junior year plus dance) and I’ll be studying math, cs, and music (my full tuition scholarship is dependent on a minor, but I want to major). However, my career path will be something to do with cryptography/cryptanalysis/cyber security, so being super involved in music does not mean you have to follow that path.</p>
<p>Different colleges have different policies about whether choice of major affects frosh admission selectivity. You need to check each college specifically.</p>
<p>Some schools admit students directly into major (or specific colleges). In that case, intended major or field of study matter. For example, UIUC admits directly into specific major (although undecided is possible) not just to college (e.g. Enigineering). The admission stat is actually depending on which major you apply to.</p>
