Hello everyone, I am having a dilemma of what to pick as a major for college next year. I will be putting undecided in the my application but whenever I talk to someone about my application and why I put undecided they either support me very much and says that when you put undecided the admission office is more likely to accept you and some say that when you put undecided you reduce your chance of getting in because you don’t show responsibility. So which one is true?
Putting undecided as a major will not hurt or help your chances of getting into college. That’s an urban myth that’s passed around. Many students go into college intending to major in something, and then they end up switching it during their Sophomore or Junior year. If you don’t know what you want to possibly major in then just put undecided. The colleges are looking at your essays, GPA, test scores, portfolios (if you submitted one), etc. not what you possibly want to major in.
