Quick question for you guys- did any of you apply to any schools that didn't have your major? I know a lot of people talk about how college kids switch their majors and whatnot...so is it worth it to apply to schools that don't have the major you want? And if yes, how many?
I applied to one school that didn't have my exact major, but something that was moderately similar. I didn't go to that school. I never changed my major during college...neither did any of my friends which isn't the norm (but to me its normal)....However they did study things that weren't to their undergrad in grad school (art to zoology, print journalism o public history)...I went from broadcast journalism to library science for grad school. I picked broadcast in 8th grade and library science when I was 7.
Anyway, there is no harm in applying to a college that doesn't have your major, but really consider whether or not you should go there but not everyone is a major switcher.
