I’m thinking of applying to the U of Chicago in the fall and it is my ultimate ambition to double major Economics as well as Political Science. I am wondering how admissions differ when applying as either or.

Would it be easier (or possible if they allow such mobility) to apply as a Poli Sci. major in the fall and then assuming I got in, add the second major of Economics? Or is competition for the Econ. department so high as to not allow that sort of change.

Any thoughts or advice on it would be much appreciated :]
