Deciding your Major on your application

If it is easy to change majors then the admissions officers will know that too, and they won’t admit you just because you’re going into an unpopular major (if anything, they might look at your major, compare it to your interests and skills, and wonder what on earth is going on). If it isn’t easy to change, why go through all that?

Personally, I’m a big fan of just telling the truth and not trying to game the system. That way you know you’ll be happy wherever you end up, because they actually admitted you and not some random person you were pretending to be. Sorry if I sound harsh, but that really bugs me.
