[quote=Anonymous][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

The list seems incomplete, it should include business,  a vocational type major[/quote]

Most business majors go to state flagships not Ivy or Ivy +. The benefit of an Ivy degree is you can major in ANYTHING and still get a job at Goldman Sachs, Blackstone or KKR if you want it.[/quote]
Yeah, that’s not really true anymore. There are a few (often well-connected) exceptions, but you pretty much need to major in Econ or something quantitative.[/quote]
