[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How normal is it for a high school senior to know what they want to major in? I hear people say their kids are a computer science major or pre-med. Amy kid has no idea. Could be absolutely anything from English to history to computer science to physics. Or anything else their college offers. Literally anything. [/quote]

very normal.  I say this without snark but, did you go to college?  Most colleges don't require someone to declare until Sophomore year or so.[/quote]

OP here. I did go to college and then law school. I didn't know my major either until junior year. That was 30 years ago though, so I wondered if things have changed. So many of my kid's friends say they are pre-med or classics or whatever major. My kid's stats are highest in STEM, so I think it's on the table but he also loves history and literature. I just wondered whether kids know their majors a lot earlier than we knew in my college years.[/quote]

Some do, some don't.  It's ok.[/quote]
