[quote=Anonymous]Both of my kids were kind of like this-- multiple interests and equally likely to go various directions. For the purpose of the app, I told them to commit to one of them (any one of their choosing) for the purposes of applications, knowing they can switch once they get there. They ended up kind of homing in on their preferred major while writing essays-- one major was much better linked to their activities, easier to justify as a passion, etc. One actually chose engineering for these purposes and switched almost immediately to econ. The point wasn't to game the system but to write a coherent story in the application. At top schools, unless applying to a separate engineering or business school, I don't think choice of major matters, since students can switch majors instantaneously. But passion for their intended studies does matter (I think).[/quote]
