<p>Can you get accepted to both majors and just choose?</p>
<p>For example; applying to mechanical engineering as intended and chemistry as second, can I be accepted to both and then just choose what I want?</p>
<p>That’s how people apply to backup majors. They would apply to multiple majors and pick one out of those that did accept them (though some students may pick more than one to pursue while others may only be accepted by one major).</p>
