[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people I know who got into Ivies went in as “undecided”.[/quote]

that's maybe what they put on the IG and social media. I know DC won't put what DC applied as and will likely put "undecided" bc these ethnic/field studies can be looked down upon....

At our private, the successful Ivy and Ivy+ early admits were below - not our CCO highly recommends these niche majors too with good to great outcomes (assuming ample evidence for major):

Anthro
Archeology
Art History
Chicana/Latino Studies
Classics
Comparative Lit
English
History
Iranian Studies
Jewish Studies
Medieval Studies
Phil
Sociology
Women's/Gender Studies

Not sure that Women’s or Hispanic studies is going to be a winner with schools being encouraged to drop anything remotely DEI.

The problem with going with a niche major is that while there may be fewer kids applying, there are also fewer spots.

Wrong for some these. There are not “fewer spots” - no one ever lists it!!

Most of these schools would be thrilled to have an overabundance of classics, philosophy or anthropology majors. Look at the number of professors.[/quote]
