<p>I'm a senior now, but I don't have any idea what major I want to study. I heard that colleges don't see it in a good way if student chooses Undecided major. Is it true?
Can I fill in any major in my application and once I'm accepted, change it?
And what would be better to do, to choose Undecided or to fill in something, but Undecided?
Thanks!</p>
<p>Follow the application instruction. If they require you to apply to a specific academic unit, you have to do so. Cornell rejects about 1000 applicants a year because they didn’t choose what college/school they were applying to. Other than applying to a specific division/unit, most schools don’t require you to declare a major. It’s why they have the undecided box for you to check. It doesn’t hurt or help anything. Many college students change their major once or twice anyway.</p>
<p>The answer to your question varies from institution to institution, but in general, there are often some specialized programs within universities (often engineering, architecture, nursing, and some others) for which you have to apply specifically, but if you simply plan to go to college and eventually settle on some major in humanities, sciences or social studies, it makes no difference what you list, or whether you simply list undecided.</p>

<p>This can be a difficult year. You will hear a lot of things from a lot of people with good intentions. Some of the things you hear will be true; many of them will be an odd mix of wild speculation, gibberish, lies, and things that were true 25 years ago, but aren’t true any more.</p>
