About this listen

The college major selection process doesn't have to be stressful—it's about finding the right direction through thoughtful reflection and good information rather than having everything figured out at 17.

• About one-third of college students change their major at least once
• Many East Coast schools don't require declaring a major until sophomore year
• Focus on questions about what energizes you rather than what looks impressive
• Different college models: liberal arts exploration vs. pre-professional programs
• Medical schools care more about grades and prerequisites than your specific major
• Consider job prospects, grad school requirements, and the balance between passion and practicality
• Research different majors, talk to professionals, try classes, and reflect on what excites you
• The best major is one that challenges you and helps you grow, not one that defines your entire future
