<p>For the Fall 2009 transfer application I was given the choice to choose 2 majors (primary and alternative if 1st choice isn't met), and I sort of switched them around...My 1st choice major is put as my 2nd, and my 2nd is put as my 1st.</p>
<p>THEY didn't mess up or anything and this was all my fault, so there are no errors or anything. The thing is though, both majors are basically identical and I dont' mind either one, I just like one a little more than the other.</p>
<p>Is there a way we can still change this? Admissions are underway now (they are reviewing everything), and I'm afraid if I e-mail them telling them to change my choices, it will be looked at negatively. They might think of something like and just other general feelings:
**
"Maybe he's switching it because he feels one major is easier to get in as opposed to the other"</p>
<p>"A careless mistake on his part...."**</p>
<p>My essay touched on both majors...so it wouldn't bring up a question on that aspect...and I read somewhere once we submit our applications, we can't make ANY changes...</p>
<p>Help please...</p>
<p>What? Admission decisions have already been released…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>read more carefully</p>
<p>OP: I’m not sure that you can change your major after your application is submitted. If your majors aren’t significantly different and you like them both…I don’t see a pressing reason to try and change and bring your error to the attention of the admissions committee.</p>
<p>Is it possible to get into BOTH of our choices? Like I don’t want to be accepted to just my 1st choice and they just ignore my 2nd choice, is it possible to get accepted to both and we can choose from there? </p>
<p>Would the letter just state our acceptance into our 1st choice major and not mention our 2nd one?</p>
<p>I have a really odd feeling I will be accepted into my 1st major (which in reality is my 2nd choice), and they won’t even consider my 2nd alternative major because I was accepted into my 1st</p>
<p>You will only be accepted to one program and it will be specified in your acceptance letter. </p>
<p>I believe they’ll consider both majors when they read your application and, if you are accepted, admit you the one they felt you were most competitive and best fit for.</p>
<p>Oh alright, that’s the same thing I felt they would do, consider both but eventually admit me to the one based off of my app. </p>
<p>When you said they’ll consider both, they will put more emphasis on my 1st choice though right?</p>
<p>I just wanted to mainly switch it around so that they could put more emphasis and weight on my 1st choice, but I guess it works out the same way you posted</p>
<p>Thanks a lot</p>
<p>I would imagine more weight is placed on the first choice…then obviously more weight on #2 if they decide not to admit you to #1.</p>
<p>Alright, thanks a lot for the help!</p>
