This is an interesting question. I think many parents, including myself, used to just think that if you got into the college, you could get into the major you wanted (with some exceptions, of course.) I only realized during this application cycle, with my son applying to colleges, that there is a difference between being accepted, and being accepted as a direct admit. So my son is already eligible to go right into his current stated major. He probably needs to read the fine print to see if any of his schools so far require him to maintain a certain GPA!
