[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.

Um. No there are not "fewer spots" for liberal arts majors at T20. They have fewer applicants. Have you not been following this epidemic? Its reached crisis level in universities. 
Sometimes the stuff people say here is plain wrong.
