Lot’s of top schools only care about intended major to the extent that it is relevant to the student’s overall application. i.e: if the student’s ECs and class work in HS are super STEM intensive, it would fit the overall narrative if the student’s intended major is in a STEM field. If, on the other hand, if that STEM kid is applying as a fine arts major, absent a strong arts portfolio, it might raise questions.
