<p>Yes, my daughter chose anthropology knowing UIUC is not known for that major but it is in LAS so she can easily change. Funny think is she is a world traveler and loves culture and now she may just keep the major if she does not move into agriculture(ACES). She loves her Anthropology professor and goes to coffee with her and other students. Told her she will need a PhD is she plans on getting a job. But you may get into the Education department and love it. Do what you need to do, because your passion and desire will assist in your succeeding. It is a bit of a reach for you with all the competition but my daughter got in with only one honors class and all regular classes so not impossible. A lot of people on forums said may not get in since she had basically no clubs, sports, nada, Just regular high school and a decent ACT.</p>
