D is undeclared in terms of her major. She is interested in Gender/Women’s studies, psychology, sociology, neuroscience—basically cognitive science which NEU doesn’t exactly have and Tufts does. She used to be interested in NEU’s comp sci program and that’s what first drew her to the school (in 10th grade).
