Urgent plz answer this question about subjects

Applying to College
1

<p>Hi all</p>

<p>I’m about to send in the applications (mostly to Ivies but with Chicago, Berkeley and Stanford) but I have one last urgent question.</p>

<p>I’ve marked my proposed courses there are Maths or History, but I don’t really have much intention of doing either.</p>

<p>Now as I understand this doesn’t matter because the first two years it’s a liberal arts education where you pick whatever courses you want, and then choose a specialization in the 3rd year.</p>

<p>But in that case why ask for your proposed degree anyway? And will it affect chances? (I was picking maths/history since I have the highest grades/achievements in them).</p>

<p>bump</p>

<p>does it matter what subject you write down that you want to do? does it make a difference in chances?</p>

<p>They ask because colleges obviously don’t want to enroll too many students in one major. However, unless you are applying to a specific school within a university, no one will hold you to a specific major. Colleges understand that interests and majors change.</p>

<p>You could always just say you’re undecided.</p>
