<p>ok, i have a question
im not 100% sure on my major (anthropology) but is it better to put that down on my application or go undecided?</p>
<p>Undecided, unless there are particulars for your major you want to be aware of (such as needing to be a 'pre-major' in order to take the prerequisite classes for declaring the major).</p>
<p>will choosing undecided ever make it easier for you to get in?</p>
<p>The typical answer is no, depending on the school. They almost never admit freshmen based on their major choice, since people do have a tendency to change their majors.</p>
<p>There are pretty obvious reasons to believe this isn't entirely true, however. The school has to find some way to balance out how many students they have in each department, don't they? </p>
<p>In my experience, schools will admit by college (that is, Letters & Science versus Engineering, and whatever other schools the university has) and pay little attention to your choice of major. HOWEVER, they may be inclined to judge your admissions based on your statement of preference -- for example, if you say you want to major in biology, did you perform well in the subject in high school? do your ECs match? But honestly, I don't think they bother to look much at that.</p>
<p>If in doubt, however, always go with undecided. It won't hurt your application and it won't help it; it is simply what most entering undergrads are!</p>
