Major and chances of acceptence

<p>Does my indended major affect my chances of being accepted into a school? ( ivies and the top colleges in particular)</p>

<p>i'd like to know too</p>

<p>Too many people change majors once they get into college for admissions to take majors too seriously. If they did applicants would put down some obscure major and then switch when they get there. I don't think it has much bearing. Unless you are applying to a specific program within a school.</p>

<p>As I said on another thread, it depends on the school, for example BME at JHU and Comp. Engine. at CMU.</p>
