@anhydrite I have a true passion for Russia and its history/culture, and Europe in general. I intend to apply as Russian Studies (or Russian major) and Physics major wherever possible. Physics is my first major because of its more practical nature. I really like Cornell University, it has an amazing physics program and I love its rural setting. I am quite sure I want to ED there, the problem is they no longer offer a Russian major. Because my passion for Russia is big part of my “identity” (I’m sure my teachers will be mentioning it in their recs), I am afraid it will be lost to Cornell, as they will think its silly I am applying to Cornell, when they only have minor in Russian. I was thinking I could make this connection better with a History major (which I do enjoy greatly) with a concentration in Eastern Europe or perhaps that is foolish idea as well? Advice is greatly appreciated!
