Hi guys, I'm a junior in high school, and I'm unsure about what I want to major in when I go to college. Do I need to have a major decided before applying, or can I explore my options once I'm there? Thanks for any help!
Hey there! It's completely normal to be unsure about your major at this stage in high school. Many colleges actually expect you to be undecided when you apply. In fact, it's quite common for students to change their major even after they've started college. You can definitely explore your options once you're there, and most colleges offer resources to help you make an informed decision about your major. When applying to colleges, consider looking for those that have a strong program in the areas you're interested in, so you'll have a good foundation in case you choose to pursue them later. In the meantime, try taking a variety of classes in high school to see what subjects you're passionate about. You might just discover your major that way! Good luck with your college search and applications!
