I feel really overwhelmed with the number of potential majors and I'm having a hard time deciding which one might suit me best. Are there any reliable online quizzes that could potentially help me narrow down my options?
Sure, the feeling of being overwhelmed with the number of potential majors is totally understandable. There are indeed a few online resources that can potentially assist you in narrowing down your choices.
MyPlan.com is one such resource that has a series of assessments, one of which is a "Majors Database". It's a paid service, but they do offer some robust assessments that may help you determine where your academic interests lie.
Another resource is College Board's "Major and Career Search", which isn't quite a quiz, but it does have a wealth of information about different majors and related careers.
CollegeVine also has a unique tool called "chancing engine" for users. While it's not directly a "major selector", it provides a way to discover which colleges (and by extension, which programs or majors) might be a good fit for your academic profile and career interests.
Just remember, while these can provide some direction, they won't make the decision for you. Your interests, passions, and skills should ultimately drive your choice. It may be also helpful to consider speaking with an academic advisor or college counselor to discuss potential majors and your personal goals in detail. They can provide more personalized guidance based on their deep knowledge and experience in the field.
CollegeVine’s Q&A seeks to offer informed perspectives on commonly asked admissions questions. Every answer is refined and validated by our team of admissions experts to ensure it resonates with trusted knowledge in the field.
