Easy way in?

Ok, this may seem like a ridiculous question, but I'll ask it anyway.
Assuming universities allow accepted students to change majors at the beginning of the year, does it not then make sense to apply for the major one would think they'd have the best shot of getting into, and then change to whatever you really want to do afterwards?
For instance, my portfolio may show my greatest strength to be photography, but I may want to study interior design. So I'll apply for photography and then switch to interior design before I start the program.
Am I going crazy or does this not make obvious sense?
I'm an international student so I may be missing something here.
Also, I have no idea what would happen to a scholarship

Assuming you mean for freshman year, most art schools have a foundation year and you don't have to pick a major until sometime during the 2nd semester. At that point it's pretty flexible. Although this may not be true if some majors have a special foundation year tailored for that major (some schools do this for photog. students), so it may not be as simple for certain more specialized majors.

I think you'd have to check the specific policy of the schools you are interested in.
