<p>My niece wants to get into the women and gender studies undergrad program. Is this something you stress in your application? Would you contact the head of the dept to possibly share your interest or wait to be accepted?</p>
<p>MIT doesn’t care about your major when you apply. You apply as a freshman. Not as a ____ major.</p>
<p>HWS is correct. Your niece will have the opportunity to share her interest on the second question of the application. That’s all she needs to do.</p>
