<p>I have a question about the declaring major section of the common app.</p>
<p>I wanted to declare as Cognitive Science, but I understand that Stanford has essentially the same major under something called "Symbolic Systems." However, to me, this sounds a lot more computer/artificial intell-based instead of the cognitive neuro/philosophy route I wanted to go for, since although I do know a bit of CS, its definitely not my strong suit.</p>
<p>So my question is, is there anyone out there who is actually in symsys and can vouch for this? I've already read the explanation on Stanford's SymSys page and it didn't really explain that well...</p>
<p>If I don't declare Symbolic Systems, I'd probably declare under Bio (for neurobiology) or Undecided</p>
