[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does the school have a track record of sending to Georgetown or BC? I think he has a shot. 
Otherwise Tufts ED. Major in history go to law school. [/quote]

history is way too common at GU though, right? Maybe philosophy? 
Look at the #s on college raptor and decide on different major for each school depending on which is less popular.[/quote]

None of these schools admit by major. He's a boy in humanities. That's all that matters. There's no gaming history v philosophy v English v classics. [/quote]

Disagree. But you do you. 
Ask your private college counselor - mine spent months parsing through the data on this for my kid.[/quote]

Not sure what there is to disagree with—it’s a fact that these schools don’t admit by major.

How much did you pay your counselor for the hours of “parsing” she did? Seems like you got sold a bill of goods. :)[/quote]

We’ve also been told to list different majors for different schools - lots of strategizing on major. Anthro at some schools; gender studies at others or something entirely different. Depending on size of those departments/number of undergraduate majors declared and number of endowed chairs (by school).

And yes kid has EC and intellectual support in app for each major (but will require a lot of tailoring).

Agree ofc no one admits by major in liberal arts but some colleges need some majors more than others (see classics and philosophy and English departments). Kids w less popular majors were the “surprise” admits this last cycle at our private.

There’s a professor who always posts on this topic here and has posted before about what this looks like on the inside…
