<p>I think your ECs are good.</p>

<p>You won’t be asked to commit to a major until likely, the end of your sophomore year. No need to stress over it now. One of the reasons you attend college is to sample available concentrations – look at is like going to a buffet restaurant… don’t just zip straight to the mac & cheese – try the sushi.</p>

<p>Not necessarily true at all schools. In some schools, one may have to enter a division or major as a frosh, where changing to another division or major may require another competitive admission process.</p>

<p>Also, some majors, which have long prerequisite sequences, need to have their prerequisite sequences started early to avoid delaying graduation if you choose them (engineering is an example). If you are undecided, you need to construct a frosh year schedule that will put you on track for all of the possible majors you are considering, in order to avoid closing off majors due to not starting the prerequisites early enough.</p>

<p>No one can suggest a major based on your ECs. You need to see what drives you- enough to pursue it academically. </p>

<p>Do agree ^ that some colleges review you in light of the proposed major. Eg, if you want STEM, you had better have the prep. If you want history, there should be a record of courses taken and mastered. “Undecided” is ok, but it can leave adcoms wondering what you are interested in, how prepared you are.</p>

<p>As for ECs, you’re international, right? Adcoms understand many foreign schools don’t have the same opportunities as in the US.</p>
