Which method would be smarter in choosing a major?

College Majors

<p>A lot of my extracurriculars revolve around my Chinese culture. I even studied abroad in Taiwan for a Summer Chinese Language Camp. My commonapp essay is about my struggles being biracial and learning the language. </p>

<p>Would it be smart to put down my major as Chinese or East Asian Studies? Or should I be honest and put down biochemistry, even if my test scores aren’t the best? </p>

<p>With the application I’m working on now, I have to write an explanation as to why I chose the major. I could definitely build upon my love for my Chinese culture, but I also could write about how much I love science. </p>

<p>I don’t know how I should go about this…</p>

<p>Do whatever you think will help your application best. Once you get in, you can always change your major. Don’t worry about what you declare when going in.</p>
