<p>You can't apply for this major until junior year, but can you write it down as your intended major for your application? How about for the essay question asking about why you chose this specific academic program?</p>

<p>You better get done with your essays that deadline is approaching fast</p>
<p>I think you should write IR as your major and talk about it in your essay, but mention something about applying for it later or what you will do to further your interests in the meantime. That way they'll know you took the time to research their school and find out that the program can't be entered during freshman year-- it's just another way to show how much you care about attending this particular school.</p>
<p>I just mentioned it was in the honors program. You only have so many words, so its tough.</p>
