<p>I love USC. They have four different programs I'm interested in, and all are in different colleges! Now, the question is, what do I pick as my first-choice major?!</p>
<p>Most of the programs have additional supplement requirements, but I'm not totally sure which I want to do. </p>
<p>Open (still deciding) seems to be the best option, but how does that look to admissions? Would that be weaker because I won't need to send in any of the additional work?</p>
<ul>
<li>it won’t make your application for admission to USC weaker, but you won’t be admitted to any of the specific programs if you do not apply to them.</li>
</ul>
<p>But if I go in as undecided, can’t I still get into those programs later?</p>
<p>You can certainly apply once you are admitted undecided. It may take longer to complete your major/minor if you wait to be admitted to a specific program. Many students do go in with an undeclared major.</p>
<p>"Many students do go in with an undeclared major. "</p>
<p>Exactly, there are many students who are undecided. If you are undecided, then you are undecided - that’s okay.</p>
<p>There are certain specific academic programs at USC that are highly competitive, have just a few slots, require four years of study and require additional application materials. An undecided student can still get admitted to USC and even register for a course in one of those disciplines.</p>
