<p>Listen man, no one said categorically it would lower your gpa. What I said was why would anyone reduce their very best chances of a high GPA for LS admissions by adding another major? It’s common sense. One simple major, or two majors (simple or not) it’s obvious what the right choice is, for the person who wants the best chances to be successful during the ap process. You are arguing a different point. </p>
<p>Are there successful double majors out there with 4.0’s? Yes, of course and that’s awesome! But would I recommend someone who has the choice between one or two majors choose two majors to “hedge your bets” in case you change your mind? No, that would be a stupid suggestion for someone trying to get the best gpa possible to enter LS.</p>
<p>One major is obviously going to give you better odds of a better gpa than two majors, that is absolutely a fact and to argue against that is just asinine. If you think gathering up all single majors and double majors and averaging who has the better gpa will result in double majors, you’re just a moron. Slow down and read my argument, it’s not about having the ability to score a high gpa as a double major, it’s about having a better chance at a high gpa and LS ap success rate with just one major. I don’t need stats to tell you that’s the obvious choice.</p>
