[quote=Anonymous]I did this to stand out as an applicant. I had extra curriculars that I could tie to the major I said I wanted to study and got a perfect score on the SAT II (back when that was a thing) for my intended major. Even 20 years ago, you couldn't get into an Ivy as a white kid from the suburbs with straight As who was president of a few clubs. You needed a story. Since I had no idea what I wanted to major in, I just picked the thing that I thought would most help me get in. Since I had the grades and test scores to back it up, I did not see anything wrong with it. Other kids have parents who donate buildings or pay for years of travel sports. I bought a Princeton Review book and spent hours studying for the SAT subject test. [/quote]
