[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting! The recent duke admits of non legacy/non connected kids that I know are bright, 'quirky', and deep into climate/environmental sustainability. Not typical duke admits. Our school/area sends a lot of kids to duke. My observation is very anecdotal, but makes sense given what OP shared. On a related note, most kids at our school have strong humanities narratives on  their app but switch to econ or other oversubscribed majors when they get there...[/quote]
This is an issue every college is attempting to deal with. They admit large proportions of the class as humanities and interdisciplinary soft majors, but by junior year, most of those kids are Econ majors.[/quote]

Every IEC tells kids to target majoring in "institutional priorities" at schools that freely allows students to change majors and to switch their major in English literature into a minor and to major in econ or whatever.

The simple answer would be to require application and acceptance into the oversubscribed major to change majors.[/quote]
