<p>When I originally wrote my two essays it was with one particular major in mind (music) and how I wished to continue seriously studying music. However, I also fully intend to pursue a Biology major, and I was wondering if this sort of conflict would be odd. I've changed both essays to say that I want to still seriously continue studying music, but I've also mentioned my aspirations in biology in both. Will this be a problem, considering the emphasis is never on biology?</p>
<p>Why relate your essay to your intended major/minor at all? I'll bet that your extracurriculars and transcripts describe your fondness for those subjects. The college essay is to reveal something about yourself that the Admissions Counselors can't figure out by looking at the rest of your application. That's why some of the essay prompts are so interesting.</p>
<p>Think about what you want them to really know about you. What makes you, you?</p>
<p>Well I think the main problem is that my extracurriculars and essays are mostly music-related, while I say little about studying biology as a major, which is what I intend to do. Only thing that helps that is my AP Biology and SATII Bio-M score.</p>
<p>You do indicate on your application what your intended major is. There's little to do for Biology interest relating to extracurricular activities other than say a Science Club or some type of related volunteer work. </p>
<p>I guess what I'm trying to say again is that the schools know what your intended course of study is (and they also realize that many students change their major once at college). The purpose of the essay is really to reveal something important about you. I"m not sure that an essay saying I'd like to continue with music and study biology is all that revealing of you.</p>
<p>Well, it's more on how and why music is so important to me, but I see what you mean.</p>
