[quote=Anonymous]I'm working with an admissions consultant from an elite school, and YES it does matter. In fact, it's one of the most important components of the application. Elite colleges lie when they say "major choice doesn't factor into admissions." No college will admit 70% of their students as engineering/CS/pre-med/Econ. They need students to study humanities, arts, etc. There is a considerable admissions bump for very humanities-oriented students, because those departments are starving for interest right now. Stanford even created a summer program to recruit and identify humanities-oriented high schoolers. https://stanforddaily.com/2015/01/14/stanfords-summer-humanities-institute-brings-talented-humanities-students-to-campus/[/quote]
