<p>For one of my essays, I am writing about physics, but I am not majoring in it. Would this be viewed negatively?</p>
<p>What is your major. If it is in the sciences, there would be no negative effect. Otherwise, you dont want to have a big inconsistency in your overall application.</p>
<p>I say no, it should be viewed fine. Essays don’t ask for consistency regarding what you want to major in.</p>
<p>For one of my essays, I compared one of the sports I do to a completely different pastime. It still worked out and sounded great.</p>
<p>Go for it.</p>
<p>my major is going to be mathematics.</p>
