General major selection for a transfer help

<p>Ive filled out 9 different applications to various schools across the us (3 hard, 3 medium, 3 backup) and wanted to know someones take on the various majors. </p>

<p>Ive applied to finance on most and am enrolled in classes now to focus on the business aspect of things, however would putting something like econ or physics be a safer route to make sure I'm in the university 1st before switching majors? </p>

<p>ex. A&M denied my finance major so they said I could easily wait 1 semester (with econ as backup) and flip into engi program after that time, which sounds nice. ideas if this is better option esp with schools that don't offer a 2nd major as a backup like Penn state. </p>
