[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are colleges even requiring majors on applications at all? My (tippy top) school did not require a declaration until end of sophomore year. You indicated interest on your application but it was not binding. They wanted everyone to explore majors freshman year.[/quote] Because at many larger schools, Business, CS, engineering are direct admit/impacted majors. So if you are not admitted as a freshman, your path to transfer in is virtually zero. However, there are plenty of excellent schools where this is not the case. My own kid applied to mostly schools like that, because yes kids do change paths and they didn't want to be restricted. Entered as a ChemE major and is adding CS as a minor. But nothing will be declared until spring of sophomore year. [/quote]
