<p>What are they?
I know it has some effect on undergraduate admissions, even though they say it doesn't.</p>
<p>Your prospective major really doesn’t impact your admissions decisions as you may think. Undergraduates will change their majors numerous times before making a final decision. Changing your major from, let’s say pre-med to computer science isn’t going to make the difference in admittance or rejection.</p>

<p>what are the least competitive majors for undergrad. As in the least popular one.s.</p>
<p>By majors with less than 10 graduates in 2009: Afro-American Studies, Asian Studies, Comparative Literature, Ecology, Folklore, German, Marine Sciences, Slavic Languages, Statistics and Operations Research.</p>
<p>I’m not sure why you would want to know what the least popular majors are though, doesn’t necessarily mean they are any less competitive than majors with over 200 graduates like Political Science, Journalism, or Business.</p>

<p>leetx, trust me, what your prospective major is not going to affect your admission here at all. The average number of times that a college student changes their major is 6, and admissions knows that.</p>
<p>The only way this could possibly help you is if you are genuinely interested in a rather obscure thing, and you have extra-curriculars or something to prove that. If you try to fake that, people can tell, pretty easily.</p>
