@lostaccount please note what I said: “again did not want to be packaged.”
Also I do not speak French and have never taken a class so signing up for the major would not be realistic. Just an example. However, if a school needed French majors and had an engineering program you liked and you spoke french and enjoyed it, there is nothing wrong with possibly mentioning a double major or minor if that was a possible interest. However, you may not know about it unless a consultant with prior experience suggested it. I did not realize how important your major is to admissions. I assumed that everyone who applies to MIT or Yale with no hooks and the same stats and ECs has the same chance of getting in. Yes until you factor in majors. Institutional needs very much come into play. I had no idea.
I did not want to be packaged which is one of the reasons I did not want to hire someone.
It was suggested that I would have more success as a liberal arts major so apply that way and tranfer into engineering. I refused.
However, I also made careless mistakes that I would not have made if I had a professional guiding me. On balance it was fine. I would probably do in depth research into prospective majors way before doing an application.
