What is the least popular major at Fordham? I plan on writing one of there least popular majors on my app so It will help my chances. Will this help? Do they consider that? Also when would I be able to change?
Fordham doesn’t care what major you apply for, I really do not think it has an effect on your application.
If you are curious, though, it’s probably Computer Science. Here at LC the people majoring in it in my year don’t even fill a classroom.
^^^I agree. It is important that you apply to the school within Fordham that you want to attend (ex. Gabelli, Rose Hill, LC…) but admissions officers don’t really pay attention to your intended major – many people apply undecided and many who apply with a major in mind end up changing majors once they are in college. Picking am “unpopular” major won’t help you to get into a college because admissions is well aware that a student’s intended major at the time of application can be easily changed.
I second that it doesn’t really matter.
But to answer the question anyway, I think probably Medieval Studies, Comparative Literature, or Classical Languages… I know a few CS majors but I’d be shocked if any of the three majors I mentioned graduate any more than 3-5 people a year.
