[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t worry about the major. Something like 70% of college students change their major at least once.[/quote]

You have to know your kid. My DD picked her whole list mostly on strength of major. She's had a passion for the field for years, had exposure to it throughout high school, and it's really impossible to see her doing something else. Her particular path in the field is up in the air but the general field won't change. So a school that had a depth of offerings in that was the top priority. So for her A would be the choice.[/quote]

This 100%!  My first, I knew they most likely would end up switching majors (ADHD kid who wanted an undergrad major leading to PT school---I suspected they would struggle academically in undergrad and definately by grad school/med school. ) They did and was happy they picked schools to apply to (and ultimately select) that were strong overall schools and easily allowed you to switch into other majors.  They majored in business/finance and excelled at that.

My 2nd has known engineering since early HS.  And by junior year picked the type.  Now a junior in college, majoring in that Engineering, has a 4.0 in that engineering specific courses and excelling at it.  They had a path, and I figured theirs would only modify to another form of engineering or CS---so we made sure they were at a school with great engineering and CS and that you could easily switch into any major within that.
