<p>Major in what you want to. Declaring a major as a freshman doesn’t really mean anything, as the majority of people take very similar courses in the technical degrees. I highly doubt the Academy will take your major into consideration if you’re applying as a freshman and are taking a similar plebe schedule. And should the Academy fall through a second time, you’re good to go on your Business track and not stuck with several hard engineering courses that won’t help you towards your degree.</p>
<p>Definitely take the calc and chem, even if you did the APs in HS. A second year could only help. That’s what I did.</p>
