[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At most top schools, you don't declare a major until spring semester sophomore year, so it's easy to change your mind after you're admitted. After you declare, whether you can easily change depends on the new major's requirements.[/quote] Except by sophomore year you are taking pre reqs for your intended major. At that point it may not be hard to switch between similar majors, but going from English to engineering may be hard because you'll be almost a year behind. As a practical matter, if your kid wants to graduate on time without extraordinary efforts, they should have an idea what direction they are headed by the end of freshman year at the latest. They can likely tweak their major later (e.g., withing humanities), but they need to start working on pre reqs and sequenced classes as a sophomore, especially if in engineering, science or pre med.[/quote]
