Texas A&M Second Choice Majors? What does this mean?

For the sake of time lets assume you wanted to choose Business as your first choice. (That is what I am choosing so its an easier example.

Business is one of those schools that can ONLY be a “1st choice” at UT. Therefore if I put that major as second its as good as garbage and will not be looked at. What that DOES NOT mean is that by putting business as first, your second choice will be ignored. That is incorrect. If I were not to get in to B-School I will still have a shot at my second choice provided that it too does not require a 1st choice spot.

Let me leave you with this: Do not change your major from what you really want to study just for the sake of getting into the school you want to unless you are 99.99% sure you will be able to transfer after freshman year in to that 1st choice school you wanted. No school, I dont care if its Harvard or UPenn or Yale, is worth going to and studying something you are not passionate about just to get in. Because I know I want to study business, I will be putting business as my 1st choice. For my second choice I will be putting something like biology. However if Berkeley calls me up and offerers me the Bio major I will tell them ‘no’. Regardless of how much I want to be a Berkeley Bear.

If you are not sure about what you want to study then think a little bit and try to commit. Don’t let luck of the draw decide what you study. Best of luck!!!
