<p>I’m really interested in the neuroscience major that Brown offers, but I’ve noticed other people on CC who are enthusiastic about it too. Would it help to specify that as intended major, or would it hurt my chances because it’s a popular major?</p>
<p>I'd say it'd help because you'd be going to Brown for a reason. But I don't think it has much of an effect on your chances whatever you put down.</p>
