[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it only specific majors that you need to apply to when you first apply to college, like engineering, nursing, architecture, maybe business? These were in different “schools” at UVA when I went. Or when I read on this board that kids apply directly to their major, are you talking about something different? Like my child will need to know whether she wants to major in biology or history before she finishes high school?[/quote] For many LACs you don't declare a major until one or two years after enrolling.[/quote] The issue is that premed classes and computer science classes are expensive for schools to offer and difficult for kids to pass. Weak CS students and weak premeds tend to be nervous, boring people. Their main activity is lying in bed and crying about their rotten grades. They add nothing of value to their schools. So, schools may not officially care about the applicants’ majors. But they want to see that applicants have real interests and won’t clog up the mental health clinic with wailing about how they won’t get to be rich doctors or software developers. [/quote]
