[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A contrived example:
HS Student took 6 years of Latin, took lots of History classes, no Econ, but minimal science/math. Student has ECs in Latin Club and History Club.  College admissions will figure out that student is not planning STEM major.  Student claims Classics, which is credible given courses and ECs.

Different example:
HS Student took 4 years of Latin, standard set of History/Government, no Econ, lots of Math and lab Science classes.  ECs are robotics team and math team.  Admissions will figure out student plans STEM, even if they claim to intend Classics.

The intended business majors will usually pick HS Econ classes and a full but standard set of math classes.

If someone genuinely wants Classics, then fine to say so, but course choices and ECs should be consistent with the claimed intended major.

Most of these kids are taking 4 years of math and science. [b]Even classics majors hoping for top 20 schools are taking lots rigorous load all 4 years in all subjects[/b]. But yeah, I might leave robotics off activities list [/quote]

Absolutely. And have to have top grades, and stand out in LORs, etc[/quote]
