I always viewed this as part of building a class. No school wants to become mono major. I didn’t read/listen to the transcript. However, I can definitely see where a student with lower grades/test scores gets accepted because they have some other demonstrated trait that shows that they may have a high aptitude/interest in a certain subject. I think that that would look like a “tip” in admissions due to major. However, that doesn’t mean that someone just changing the prospective major will change their admissions results. They may not have the other characteristics.
