<p>On some of the college applications (UCs and Rochester in particular) they ask to state your desired major and give you 2 alternate choices. Since I'm not really sure yet what I want to do, but know that I want to do science later on, should I choose science as my first and then undeclared as second? Or Undeclared first and science second?</p>
<p>My question: Is it more hard to get in if you choose undeclared at most colleges. Also, is there a way to tell them that I'd still take what they give me even they can't give me undeclared?</p>
<p>Hmm, is there a choice where you can choose the college you want? On the University of Miami application, I was able to choose "College of Arts and Sciences--Undecided." It won't hurt your chances either. Colleges know that students on average change their major three or four times.</p>
<p>My d got into Rochester with Undecided. As a matter of fact, at all the parent sessions at Rochester, the deans said they prefer the undecided student - sometimes kids who "knew" what they wanted when they enter find it really hard to change their minds if they find something else that fires them up. The undecided kid is open to all sorts of new experiences, all the things that were never available in high school and that they know nothing about.</p>
<p>So at least for Rochester, it's not harder to get in Undecided.</p>
