Other people on College Confidential know a lot more about the UCs than I do, so I won’t speak to them.

But in the overwhelming majority of cases, for private colleges such as the ones you’ve named, Allen’s advice above is actually off-base. Except for students who are applying to some kind of specialty programs (e.g., Wharton at Penn, or sometimes engineering), these colleges and universities admit students to the institution, and not to a major, so choice of major has no effect on admissions. They do it this way because they know that no more than half of students who enroll will actually graduate with a degree in the subject they said they planned to major in.

“Undecided” is perfectly OK, if that’s what you are.
