What is everyone’s opinion on intended major? My application shows strength in Math, and that is where my interest lies- however, in terms of “intended career,” I put scientific researcher. Will it seem inconsistent if I put “math” on the individual college apps, while my overall commonapp says the aforementioned career goal? My ACT and SAT score reports have “physics” as an intended major, but I am considering putting math or applied math on my application. will this appear inconsistent/indecisive and will it affect my college admission chances? Thanks everyone.
These do not affect admissions chances at all. It just helps admissions officers to know what you are interested in. You can be undecided or anything, and it really has no weight at all.
