<p>I currently have a 4.2 GPA and have taken plenty of AP classes in high school. It's time to start applying to colleges and I can't decide what I should major in. I excel in Physics, History and English. Have thought about International Relations or Philosophy but don't know what would be beneficial to a good career. I don't want a regular office job and see myself traveling in the future. I'm very active and would love to attend a school with a Rugby team. Any Major/Minor suggestions? Any college or university suggestions?</p>
<p>you’re about to enter college to explore options. Taste a little here, taste a little there. Nothing wrong with that. In the USA, it’s customary to not declare a major until Soph or early Jr year.</p>
<p>You’re undecided. Therefore, you should apply either as Undecided or, if they simply ask subjects you’re interested in, suggest a few of your interests.</p>
<p>It is fine to be undecided, as long as:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>You are comfortable with deciding within about two years (unless you go to community college, in which case you can take longer to decide).</p></li>
<li><p>You are aware that some majors, like physics, have long prerequisite chains, so if you might major in (for example) physics, you need start early with the prerequisite courses. Otherwise, if you decide to switch into physics in the spring of your second year without having taken the prerequisite courses, you may delay your graduation (or not even have the option of majoring in physics if you are at a school that limits courses/credits/semesters).</p></li>
</ol>
<p>If you are concerned about job and career prospects of different majors, take a look at the <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/internships-careers-employment/1121619-university-graduate-career-surveys.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/internships-careers-employment/1121619-university-graduate-career-surveys.html</a> . Job and career prospects should not be the only criterion in choosing a major (after all, you should like and be good at the subject in order to do well in it), but it is best to be aware before deciding (and they can tie-break between two subjects you otherwise like approximately equally).</p>
