<p>does applying as undecided give out bad impression?
I really don't know what I want to major in ...but is it better to choose something closest and write about it then go undeclared?</p>
<p>most schools you can switch majors, so if that’s an option, pick whatever interests you</p>
<p>^ So, undecided Does give out bad impresssion?</p>
<p>It is fine–many, many kids are</p>
<p>I know someone who was rejected from a college while lower ranked/involved students from her school were accepted(she was also deferred at 2 more) and she was the only one of them w/o a declared major. Coincidence?-possibly, but why take the risk?</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure that is just a coincidence. Undecided is a choice for a reason…but if you pick a major, it doesn’t mean you have to stick with it. But then, if you picked like Agricultural Studies or some rare major that no one picks just so the college picks you so you can pursue that major…then that’s a problem too.</p>
<p>I wondered about this as well. The funny thing is, my daughter applied to several schools and changed her majors throughout the process: physics, Japanese, Russian. Since she started school–what 8 weeks ago–her majors have been Japanese, chemistry, and physics, in that order. My only observation is that declaring pre-med throws you in with the most motivated students (not a judgment, just an observation). Declaring something gives you some identity during the application review process; it is not binding. Of course, then you might have to write about why you want to major in whatever it is you choose. I am rambling. I hope this makes sense. Best wishes.</p>
<p>Meh…but if you want to do Pre-Med…doesn’t that throw you into the cut-throat group of students who will do anything to get into Med School? That’s what my summer lab internship professor told me XD</p>
<p>I heard there really is no such as “Pre-Med”. You can major in anything as long as you get the pre requisites in for med. school. Am I correct in what I heard? I’ve known people who were educated in one field and worked in that career (teaching, for instance) and decided to become an MD later.</p>
<p>To apply to medical school, you can major in anything.</p>
