^You are wrong.
Stanford does not expect you to declare a major till the end of your sophomore year. They value broad liberal art education , and thus encourage (and require) you to take classes in variety of fields.

your freshmen year classes must reflect your declared major

that is absolutely false. You don't HAVE a declared major your freshmen year. Some majors that require taking classes in sequence will be hard to complete in 4 years unless you start working on it from the beginning. If you are interested in CS, engineering, etc., you have to plan ahead to keep your options open, but you are not limited by anything you put on your application in choosing classes in your freshman year.

applying with some majors makes it harder to get in, like engineering, biology, chemistry, etc because sooo many people with those majors apply

that is false too. Although Stanford is looking for diversity in its admitted class, listing some obscure major can only help you if that interest shows strongly in your application.
In short, your best bet is to stay true to yourself and your interests. And it is fine to be undecided.
