I’ve been working on my Auburn University application and one section that i’ve been skeptical about is the “planned course of study” section which asks for me to put down what field i plan to major in. They don’t have an “undecided” field and i honesty am not set on any specific major, despite there being some areas that interest me more than others. How important in the selection process, and my studying at the school, is this section of the application. Does it matter what i put down and will I be forced to study THAT at the university? Is it like that for most applications, or is it to just get an idea of what the applicant is interested in?

Also, if i’m interested in engineering, is there a separate application to fill out for Auburn’s engineering? How about for most other schools for engineering? How can i find out? Thanks.
