Can I apply to colleges with different majors?

Hi everyone! I'm a junior, and I'm having a hard time deciding on a major. I was wondering if it's possible to apply to different colleges with different majors? Or should I just choose one and stick with it? Any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Hey there! It's completely normal to be unsure about your major at this stage in your high school journey. You'll be happy to know that yes, you can apply to different colleges with different majors. Some colleges even allow you to apply as 'undeclared' or 'exploratory' if you're still not sure about the specific major you want to pursue.

However, it's important to keep in mind that some programs at certain colleges might be more competitive than others, so do your research and make sure you understand the requirements for each major and college you're considering.

One piece of advice I'd like to give is to make sure your application materials reflect your genuine interests, as admissions officers often look for passion and commitment in the subjects you're interested in pursuing.

Don't hesitate to explore your options and take your time making decisions. Good luck with the application process, and I hope you find the right major for you!
