<p>Im sending out a lot of my applications on the CommonApp now and i was just wondering what the "Interests" part of the future plans section really means. If i chose a specific area of interest in this section does it bind me to studying that major in that specific college? Does it affect my chances of getting in to the college? Or, is this section a way for colleges to get to know what youre interested in? Thanks!</p>
<p>just a way for colleges to know what you’re interested in.
but definitely be careful what you put for your interests.
for example, if the school does not offer civil engineering, don’t put civil engineering on your future plans.
just saying.</p>
