<p>So my sister applied to some schools such as University of Rhode Island and Quinnipiac and put as her first major NURSING, and then second ACCOUNTING.</p>
<p>She hasn't done too well in science in high school. Was this a bad idea? Will she get rejected now?</p>
<p>At University of Rhode Island she applied to two schools. First was the Nursing School and then the second was the Business Administration school. Was this a bad idea?</p>
<p>She's not even sure if she wants to do nursing. At Stonehill she put her major as Biology major and she hasn't done too well in science in high school.</p>
<p>How important is the MAJOR you put on your CommonApp supplements? Can you get screwed over big time?</p>
<p>What should she do? Leave things as is? Email the admissions officers ASAP? Since she hasn’t submitted CommonApp and only the supplements (which can’t be edited) should she create a new CommonApp account? Or is that too much and she should just ignore it because major doesn’t matter?</p>
<p>How much does major matter??? HELP</p>
<p>If she hasn’t done well in science, the question on the table is “should she be a nurse,” which is a bigger question than “should she have indicated nursing as her first choice.”</p>
<p>The thing is she just put down a random major.</p>
<p>Why did she put down a random major? And if random, why nursing? It really is quite a difficult major, with much memorization as well as clinical commitments and possible applications if the college weeds out the program after 2 years, as many state schools do.</p>
<p>Can she just email the Admissions Officers and change her major to accounting, which she put on the rest of her apps?</p>
<p>Have her email the admission’s dept. ASAP. If she’s not sure of a major, she can apply as “undecided” or “undeclared”. Also, if she’s not sure about accounting, she shouldn’t apply as an accounting major either. Simply apply as “undecided” or “undeclared”. She can declare a major after a semester or two.</p>
