<p>Hi. I'm currently a senior at a high school in Philadelphia. I plan on applying to Penn in regular decision. My question is... how important is the "intended major" selection on the application? I'm asking this because of my current situation. Up until 11th grade, I wanted to major in business and apply to the Wharton School at Penn. But in my 11th grade summer, I volunteered at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and developed a passion for healthcare. I found myself to enjoy medicine more than I did business. So, here's my problem. I am now in 12th grade and will not have taken AP Bio/Chemistry by the end of high school. This is because it was too late to switch into those classes by the time I came back to school from summer break. I also will not have taken the bio or chem subject test before applications are due. The only health related class I will be taking this year is Human Anatomy.. which I don't think is enough if I want to work in healthcare. </p>
<p>So, if I put biology (or anything related to biology) as my intended major on my application, will it hurt my chances?? Should I just pick biology or just go with "undeclared"? Please somebody help me I am really stressing over this!! Thank you</p>
