Majors: Undecided or Decided?

<p>Is it better to put a major on your app over putting undecided? Does it matter at all? Also, how many people who go to college are undecided?</p>

<p>It only matters at some schools, where you’re admitted by major. Like at Georgia Tech, students are admitted to different schools in the university based upon their major - so it may be more difficult for an engineering student to gain admissions to Tech than a student entering Ivan Allen, which is their liberal arts school.</p>

<p>At the majority of schools where you are just applying to their undergraduate division, then no, your major doesn’t matter at all. A lot of students apply undecided, and a large number also put a major on but end up changing their mind either before they get to the college or in their first two years.</p>
