[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get rid of majors that are competitive -- i.e., require an application and admission once the student has already been accepted to the university. This is the only thing holding my daughter back from committing to a particular Ivy League institution. She (and I) feel that if she's qualified to attend the school, she should be able to major in whatever she wants, assuming she completes the prerequisites successfully.[/quote] True. That is such a 'large school' thing to do and not becoming of a smaller school like an ivy and it fosters poor intra-university relations among the UG student body. Case in point: Wharton UG's vs the rest of Penn (yes, I know that you apply to the college/program before you matriculate but i'm not a fan of having kids apply to a particular school within a university). PP, is your daughter the one who got into Yale but is having second thoughts because she's interested in IR and Global Affairs is a program that sophomores must apply to get into? If so, go to princeton since WW stopped doing apps for it and anyone can concentrate there if they want. [/quote]
