<p>^^ Harvard and other colleges asks about your “intended major” to gauge an applicant’s interest, but they do not recruit by major, or select applicants based upon those choices, as more than 50% of all students switch majors at least once during their 4 years of college. So the majority of students graduate with a different major than the one they selected on their application, and therefore the “intended major” data is unreliable and unusable for admissions purposes.</p>
