<p>If you search this forum for the word geosciences over the past year, you will find posts that say that geosciences is a good area to specify (that there are not a lot of geoscience applicants) but that your application should give some credible sign that you are actually interested in geosciences: projects you have done or programs you have attended. </p>
<p>If by any chance you are interested in Hindi/Urdu studies, I heard last summer that the College of Liberal Arts South Asia Institute might be looking to find more students interested in Hindi/Urdu. I believe the major you would list would be B.A. in Asian Cultures and Languages. Again, your application should give some credible sign that you are actually interested in Hindi/Urdu: projects you have done or programs you have attended. It would be useful to contact the program or go sit in on a class.</p>
<p>I really don’t think it is fair to specify a major you have absolutely no intention of working on just to get in. You should specify something that is at least somewhat interesting to you and give it a fair try.</p>
