when Columbia asks for 3 possible majors or "academic interests", how important is it? Will putting down one of the more popular majors affect my chances?
I doubt it. Pretty sure they just want to see what your fields of interest are and possibly if they correlate with your extracurriculars/classes taken. Jeez, not every question is a trick one.
