I was wondering how much my intended major impacts my admission choice. Someone told me that if I said “undecided” on my application, I would have a lower chance of getting in than if I had decided on a major. Likewise, I intend to go into the medical profession of nursing…Would that impact my chances of getting in? Is nursing competitive at UNC, or does it even matter?
I don’t know that anyone not directly involved in the process could really answer that for you, but it seems to me that if you know what you want to do, if you’re passionate about that and can articulate that in your essays, you’ll stand a better chance overall. As a bonus, you’ll know that you showed them the real you, and whatever their decision, you gave it your best shot. A mom answer from a mom.
