Hi all,
I’m applying to NC state university and in its question section on Common App it requires declaring a first and second choice academic program. It also requires you to discuss reasons for pursuing the major/academic program in an essay (I wonder if academic programs and majors are synonymous). My question is about inputting these first/second choices: are they binding or can you change your program after you get admitted? I’m asking this because I’m interested in doing something either in business or even engineering. I probably have a better aptitude towards business, but NCSU allows engineering (on common app) in the form of an engineering first year program as the first choice and I don’t know if you can do engineering beyond first year. It’s also one of the best engineering schools in the country so it could be competitive, so would I get rejected from NCSU as a whole since it has a competitive engineering college? I’m in state and have a 700 in the SAT math secrion. I’m in ap calculus, sort of failed the ap physics 1 exam. I’m a strong student other than that and I could get in undeclared. What should I do because I do have to write an essay on my particular major (not sure if major(s)).
