I have been recently admitted to Stanford and I have a question regarding my major. On my application, I chose Biology as my primary program of interest. Does this mean that I’m officially a bio major ? Bc I’ve heard that at Stanford and some other colleges in the US, you choose your major at the end of your first year, so I’m really confused. While I’m 90% sure that I would like to study biology in college, I would also like to take courses like Feminist Studies, Spanish etc my freshman year in order to explore other subject areas and see if I change my mind about what I want to study. Now I regret not choosing ‘undeclared’ when I was applying. So my question is: would it be possible to switch to ‘undeclared’ before September? If yes, how do i do that?
( please forgive me for sounding so ignorant, I’m am int’l, and I have no idea how this system works )
