[quote=Anonymous]I think most kids don’t know and it annoys me that for application purposes they seem to expect that the kids should know. We decided to approach in the following way. My child has one area of interest that is more “niche” and ends up frequently being spun off into its own college or school at universities, but also have other interests that fall under the broader “liberal arts” umbrella. Child applied for college declaring interest in the “niche” subject because we figured it would be easier to add a minor or double major in the broader area and/or move entirely out of the more focused school into the broader liberal arts rather than the other way around. Child has been up front about interest in various areas with admissions counselors and all have been encouraging of this approach. We have only looked at larger universities offering lots of programs/departments/majors so our child can dabble and explore. So far accepted at four schools that offer all areas of interest and directly into the niche major program at three of them. [/quote]
