<p>I'm a high school senior and I need help deciding what to major in.I've always had a profound interest in History.Specifically US and Military History...also Western European History.However I equally find politics interesting.I'm not necessarily a great writer,but fairly decent and I like English also (not literature,but Language and Composition...like Rhetorical analysis).I've already started reading into my AP Economics textbook for my summer assignment....and guess what???This stuff interests me too.</p>
<p>And kind of random...but I took AP Psychology,got an A both semesters and got a 4 on the exam.This is also a definite field i'm interested also.(Specifically Social Psychology)</p>
<p>However I hate math.I can live with doing arithmetic, basic algebra,basic statistics, but generally, I just hate anything to do with math because I'm horrible at it.I don't really find anything interesting in any of the science fields either:physics,chemistry,biology,etc.</p>
<p>You certainly have a time to decide what you want to study from now. Remember that you don't even have to decide your major usually until sophomore year in college. Since it looks like you're mainly interested in social science, you should take as many courses as possible that sound interesting to you, and then you can eliminate some choices. For deciding your major for an admission purpose--I'd personally pick history, because history seems like the back bone of pretty much any social science. But don't take me seriously--I don't know much about the area you're interested in (I'm a math major, btw).</p>
<p>However, since you said you hate math, I'd reconsider about economics. At an undergraduate level, econ curriculum does not involve too much math, but you'll probably be required to take calculus and statistics for social science, and if you're considering of going to a grad school, expect to take more math classes ("regular" calculus, linear algebra, advanced statistics, etc). There are other social science departments that require stats as well.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>I know I'm opening up a somewhat neglected thread, but here's what I think:</p>
<p>You MIGHT want to think again about psychology, because if you major in that, you have to take statistics. If you really really do hate math, then that could be a problem, but if you love psychology and can take a little math along with it, then it'd be fine. Just something to think about.</p>
<p>You might like to do something like a double major in Communications/Rhetoric and then a political type major, depending on where exactly your interests lay. The communications major I think is typically views as a super-easy kind of a joke major, so it'd be good for doing a double major/minor, but it'd also help with the politics thing, if you want to go into that.</p>
<p>It's more like I'm was never good at math and that's why I I have little interest and "hate" it.I've passed all my math classes uptill junior year.I did well in Algebra I,decent in Geometry,barely passed Algebra II.I failed Precalc and that basically, "hit the nail in the coffin" so to speak for me and math.</p>
<p>My interests and strong points are English and History.</p>
<p>I think I'll end up majoring Political Science or Psychology thinking it over.Both require statistics and I think I can deal with that.But is there any Calculus involved with any of the things I've mentioned?</p>
<p>How about International Relations? You got your political science, your economics, your history, and other social science all wrapped into one. And there's also a language requirement that would require the same skills language and composition of English requires.</p>
