<p>I'm a little unclear on the question actually, are you asking if people declared Art as a major as an admission strategy or if Art majors listed second choices to increase their chances?</p>
<p>and I have a related question of my own...
If you declared Art as your one and only major of interest, how many schools did you apply to that way and out of that, how many were you admitted to?</p>
<p>For example, D declared Art(specificly photography if that was an option) as her one and only major of interest(she is passionate about it and it shows in her HS career) at 9 schools(one was an EA with test scores and transcripts only), she was accepted to 8 and deferred at the EA which asked for more info(recs, ECs, essays).</p>
<p>How did it work for the rest of you? I ask because although D IS sincerely devoted to art as her major, I have heard of some artisticly talented students getting into their desired schools by declaring art as their interest when their real interest is a more competitive major(for example, business).</p>
