Disagree on the environmental science.  This is definitely an under-subscribed major.

Looking through pages of instagrams posted here, private schools or public schools, I have not seen many kids declaring environmental science.  Math, yes, there are quite a number of kids going for that major. [/quote]

I would think it varies somewhat by school. DD is an environmental science major and only applied to schools (mainly LACs) where ES was one of their largest programs. It seems a very popular major among the kids I know in her grade (she's now a college sophomore) but that probably just reflects our common interests. Those kids generally are not at super-selective colleges but are at schools where ES is a strength.

I do wonder, given the political/funding trends, if there is a pull back this year on kids declaring that as a major.

Looking at the data on degrees conferred in College Navigator could help you see if a certain major is popular or not at a particular college.[/quote]
