Identifying your major and building evidence(s) around it will help you stand out in the college admissions process. But do you select a hard major with a smaller chance of acceptance, or an easier one with a higher chance of getting accepted? This is a very nuanced topic because it depends on a lot of factors, and in this episode, I break it all down and reveal what you need to keep in mind when deciding on which major to pursue.
I’m also hosting a free live workshop this coming Wednesday that I highly recommend you register for. During this training, you’ll learn 3 high-level strategies you must implement to get accepted into your dream colleges, new trends that we’re seeing in college admissions, along with any policy changes that have recently happened. I can’t wait to support you! You can reserve your free seat at https://passionprep.com/live!
We’ve also officially opened up our brand new 1:1 Premier College Counseling Program called the Accepted Club. Inside this program, we’ll focus on providing you with the best individualized support by focusing on your passion, strength and potential. Your support will include 1:1 Sessions via Zoom, Unlimited Email Support with our coaches, and Weekly Office Hours to answer any questions you have about your college admissions journey.

TUNE IN BELOW:
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN ABOUT IN THIS EPISODE:
- Why it’s important to realize that many students today change their major at least once during their undergraduate studies.
- The most frequently asked question about majors I get during my 1:1 coaching calls.
- What to understand about alternative majors and some examples of what I recommend to the students we work with.
- Whether you should you select a harder major with a smaller chance of acceptance or an easier major for a higher chance of acceptance.
NOTABLE QUOTES:
“When you are in high school, you think you know what you want to do, and actually, the most frequently asked question that I get asked on my coaching calls is ‘I want to choose a major that will fit my career, and what should that be?”
“The world is changing, let me tell you that. It’s not that you’re going to do this major, that is going to be your career and that’s what you are going to do for the rest of your life.”
“Everyone can come out of UPenn, Harvard, Stanford or USC, or all of these Top-tier colleges and not be so successful on their own terms. You could come out of the same college and make a lot of connections, network, use your passion and strength and then you become so much more successful, again on your own terms.”
