I have absolutely no idea what I want to major in... Suggestions?

<p>Yep. My biggest passion is music, but I'm fairly certain I don't want to major in it. It's just not really something I can see myself making a career out of.</p>

<p>That leaves... essentially everything else. I don't even know where to begin. I'm a weird mix of personalities, in terms of subjects. I do well at science sometimes, and at math sometimes. There are times in pre-calc, for instance, where I'll pick up a subject immediately, and others where it never does make sense. In some ways I'd like to do something involving engineering, but considering I barely lasted 1 semester in AP Chem I don't know how that would go. One subject I've always been interested in is Aeronautical Engineering, but I'm not sure how well that would go.</p>

<p>My top school at the moment is CU-Boulder, by the way. Should I just plan on going in undeclared in terms of majors, or should I try to figure out what I want to do before I get there? And related to that, any majors that would be worth looking into? I can answer some more questions if needed.</p>

<p>There’s nothing wrong with going in to college undecided. While I’m not familiar with CU-Boulder in particular, I’m quite positive it’ll give you the opportunity to take classes in many different areas to help you figure out what you like. My advice would be for the first semester or two to take classes which interest (or may potentially interest) you across a fairly large cross-section of courses. Once you’ve explored the curricula a bit, then you can begin to narrow down the focus of your studies.</p>

<p>Maybe apply as undeclared. You should consider doing a minor in music.</p>

<p>A minor in music? Why???</p>

<p>Do you know what you are interested in career wise? You don’t have to major in what you plan to pursue necessarily. Music majors actually have one of the highest acceptance rates into med school. I would definitely minor in it at least, looks good when applying to grad school!</p>

<p>Physics is the way and the light.</p>

<p>@happysmiley: If someone majors in music, how would they get the pre-reqs for med school? If you don’t mind, can you give me more info on that?</p>

<p>You barely last AP Chem…
We can rule out:
Chemist
BioChem
Chem Engineering
And other majors involve some forms of Chem (unless you changed your mind)</p>

<p>Also as class said: You might want to presuade a minor in music since it’s your passion (puts more on your plate). Math is a subject many would simply understand and fail alternately.
May I ask, What would be your average grade in AP Chem and Pre-Cal? And others course if you wish?</p>

<p>After a visit to CU-Boulder today, I think I’m going to major in music and then pursue a minor in another subject. Especially if I go there, I loved the music department, and they offer tons of flexibility in terms of minoring. </p>

<p>My average would probably be an A-. My issue with the course was almost entirely with the teacher, honestly. She barely taught us anything, there were often questions asked that she didn’t know the answers too. Her explanations for questions were so helpless that I usually just ended up asking another student. I ended the semester with a B+ in the class. Science in general is usually a good subject for me. I got As in my first two years of science (bio and chemistry).</p>

<p>After that last post, a major in Music and a possible minor in Science, maybe?</p>

<p>Major in East Asian languages.</p>

<p>East Asia: China, Russia, Mongolia, Japan, Islanders, Korean, etc.</p>

<p>My that is alot of major to complete. Won’t you say?</p>

<p>^only YOU would say that, smh…lol</p>

<p>Descuff, that’s my first choice right now. It gives me the opportunity to study music in college, as well as study a field that could lead to better career opportunities. It also would make it fairly easy to switch to a science major, if music doesn’t work out.</p>

<p>^I think he was saying it sarcastically. He said that CSI was going to memorize ALL of those languages?!?!</p>

<p>YoungProdigy I don’t think Buranri was talking about East Asian anymore. And clearly a major in East Asian doesn’t mean learning every East Asian language, which by the way, in most academic settings, is limited to Japanese, Chinese, and Korean.</p>

<p>oh…my bad, it had seemed to me that Buranri was talking about learning the East Asian languages, but reading back on it, I think she was talking about music, and I did not meant to be pretentious or rude in any way, I was just saying what I thought, which was that Descuff was being sarcastic in his previous post.</p>

<p>For one, I’m a guy :stuck_out_tongue: but yeah, I was talking about music. It’s funny that you mention East Asian languages though, as I am planning on taking Japanese in college.</p>

<p>Well he said East Asian not a specific country. He may wants to be more specific.</p>

<p>Edit: Whoops! didn’t see the second page.</p>
