What should I say my possible major is?

<p>I really thought when I first worked on my app that I would be a linguistics major. But I have a strong background in many areas. As a result, I do have a long list of interests. I do volunteer work teaching science to kids during the summers. I am in all the honor societies (math, French, NHS, English, and science) that are offered at my school. I am mostly involved in the French honor society and taking French 5, which is more of an independent study in French and Linguistics.</p>

<p>BUT, when I sat in on classes, I had the chance to stay 2 days and sit in on multiple classes. I LOVED the upper level science classes I sat in on, and was completely bored by the large linguistics classes I sat in on. I also loved the French class I got to attend. The teacher even offered me her email address. </p>

<p>My essay already says Linguistics, I have to re-write it anyway I guess. I do not know if I should just let it be. Or if I should re-write it and suggest one of the other majors I am interested in. I have also been told that the humanities might be the way to go when listing a major, because they are less popular. On the other hand, my math scores are clearly better on testing. In other words, I do not know what I will major in! It is narrowed down to about a quarter of what Rice has to offer. </p>

<p>What would be the best route to go? I really love Rice and do not want to mess this part up.</p>

<p>It’s ok to be “undecided”. You could indicate what you’ve written above. That’s one of the things that is so awesome about Rice is that you can take a lot of things and explore your interests. As well you can major and minor or you can double major. So the possibilities are “endless”.</p>

<p>By choosing a less popular major you could run the risk that a school might not think you are a good match for them.</p>

<p>Undecided is fine, many people here change their majors 3,4,5,6 times.</p>
