<p>The commonapp asks "What is your anticipated area of study?"
So I'd like to major in mathematics but be on a pre-medicine track. Those two options are both choices for the question. Which do I chose?</p>
<p>There is no such thing as “pre-medicine”. There is biology, chemistry, etc. Since your 2nd choice isn’t that clear, you can easily opt for Mathematics. But truth be told, the MOST appropriate answer for you is “undecided”.</p>
<p>It’s perfectly acceptable to put that, you know.</p>
