<p>And please don't give me the whole "your EC's must show passion and fit your intended major so putting down a rare major you show no interest in won't help you at all". </p>

<p>Just this once, let's assume you DO "fit" the major, whatever it may be and just maybe you were planning on putting 'undecided' to keep an open mind. Given that, in such a situation, would it help you more, solely in terms of gaining admission, to go ahead and put down that obscure major you can easily prove yourself to be interested in?</p>

<p>Some liberal arts schools offer 'create your own' majors. Just make something up.</p>

<p>you should be able to look up individual schools, i think a lot of schools put the % of student body in each major up. it depends on the school, in all likelihood it will be in the school's weakest departments</p>
