When parents ask me questions about what majors their children should choose, I never give them a generic answer such as…

“Don’t pick Computer Science anymore, it’s too crowded now.”

Or

“Stay away from Marine Biology, there are no job prospects.”

Instead, I tell them to avoid this single mistake:

The worst decision they can make is waiting until the last minute when the Common App deadline forces them to choose.

At that point, most students pick a major hastily, often motivated solely by financial expectations.

While there’s nothing wrong with choosing a major with career prospects…

It must be closely aligned with their interests and activities in high school.

If it doesn’t, students put themselves at a massive disadvantage.

Picking a major should be a priority on your kid’s college search simply because the earlier they can make an informed decision…

The longer they have to:

• Align their extracurricular activities.

• Build transferable skills and talents.

• Gain experience and stories they can use in their essay.

This is a simple way to stand out from similar candidates who can't show why they should be admitted to study their chosen field.

And it also gives admissions officers a much easier choice.

If your child has multiple viable paths available to them and is struggling to make a decision… 

Chapter 6 of my book “How to Win the Million Dollar Admissions Game” provides a comprehensive guide to navigating this critical decision-making process.

• How your child can pick the best major.

• The six investment-related questions your child should ask during their major search.
