<p>I have applied to Johns Hopkins University, and everything is going really well! I can't wait to hear back...however, I have a slight problem. On my application essay I wrote about Biochemistry (as my area of interest) although I knew that Johns Hopkins doesn't offer a bachelor's in this major....but I found out that the school of arts and sciences is so flexible that it allows its' undergraduates to work on research projects, etc. I have done a research project in biochemistry and thus, I decided to write about it...I wrote that I intend on majoring in this...however on my application I put "Biological Sciences, General"...I did not "directly" state that I wanted to major in biochemistry...rather that it was my interest...my passion...will this count against me in the admissions process??? The prompt stated to tell of your intended major and why you wished to purse it...and I do wish to purse Biochemistry but as a double major in Biology and Chemistry...(I failed to mention this in my essay). Should I fax in a corrected essay or will my intentions be implied? Thank you so much!</p>
<p>I’m not AdmissionsDaniel, but in my opinion, you should have been more careful in what you were writing. Now the adcoms are not stupid, and I’m sure they will infer that you want to study biology and chemistry in some capacity. As long as the passion comes out in the essay, I would say however, it’s a non-factor. And I would say in general, it’s probably pretty close to a non-factor.</p>
<p>College admissions officers know that most college students change their majors multiple times during their careers; there’s a reason you don’t have to declare a major until the end of your sophomore year.</p>
<p>This is a non-issue.</p>
<p>Agree - non-issue. Stop stressing. Your application is in now … nothing you can do but be patient and wait.</p>
<p>ok thank you so much!!! it really helped a lot!!!</p>
