Do colleges ever look at your second choice major?

It depends on the school. Usually though, if a school is asking for a secondary major, it’s because they will consider it if you aren’t accepted into your first choice.

My D applied two cycles ago and a number of students on the Purdue and UMD sub forums were only accepted into their secondary majors.
