<p>Hi, i was wondering weather applying for specific courses makes it easier to get into a university. Suppose i want to study pure mathematics, now not many people study this so competition in this field will be lower than usual. So is it that if i apply for pure math to a university like Brown which is more popular in economics, does that make it easier for me to get in? I am not planning to change my major later or anything i really want to do pure math. I mean universities have to accept people like that, math professors cant be teaching the benches. So, will it be easier for me to get in if i apply for pure math?</p>
<p>Do you really think colleges haven’t thought students might apply for less popular majors with the potential to change majors? Unless colleges have different minimums for different schools (like engineering) it does help you.</p>
