Just looking at Big Ten schools, most do not allow free choice in that at least some majors have a competitive admission process or have requirements greater than just passing the prerequisites:<a href=“I%20added%20bold%20emphasis”>/quote</a></p>
<p>C’mon. I’ve been reading you on here for while and have come to respect your responses, but categorical statements that include words like “most” and “some”? you’re better than that.</p>
<p>Competitive majors and free choice are apples and oranges. You can freely choose to enter a competitive major? When you decide to enter that competition is what we were talking about - and for the few links I bothered to check in your post, all required declaration at least by 72 semester credits or… (drum roll) end of the sophomore year.</p>
