As has been mentioned many times here, with the exception of BME, your choice of major has no impact on whether or not you are admitted. However, if you put down that you want to study chemistry, your application should show that you have an interest in chemistry. Basically, you shouldn’t say you want to study East Asian Studies when your application indicates that you really want to study neuroscience, just because you think it will help you get in.

If you’re in Arts and Sciences, you’re listed as undeclared when you start. They don’t expect you to know exactly what you want to do anyway.
