What should I put as "intended major" on CommonApp?

Applying to College
1

<p>I'm using the Common Application for most of the colleges I'm applying to, but many of the supplements require you to list an intended major. I want to eventually go to med school, and I like biology, but I'm thinking about majoring in something random (that I find interesting, like Latin/Greek or History) instead of the cookie cutter Biology major med school applicant. But what I want to know is, if I'm not sure if biology is what I want to major in, would putting "undecided" harm my acceptance rate? </p>

<p>Note: the schools I'm applying to are pretty competitve; BC, some ivies, and also some public schools like U of M, WashU in St. Louis, and Ohio State.</p>

<p>Your intended major will not change your admissions decision within the same school, so feel free to put what you want, one possibility, or undecided. Many students enter as undecided. Good luck.</p>

<p>Your intended major matters little in admissions. I would recommend putting whichever major makes the most sense in light of your ECs.</p>

<p>Undecided is fine. WUSTL is a private school.</p>
