I don't think it really matters. Chances are you'll change you're major a few times either way

Declare 100%. If you don't, you'll get put behind others who have a class for that major, and could end up with worse professors and unable to get into classes you want.

it only matters if you're much stronger in one subject over the others or you can't write a compelling essay without talking about the subject you're interested in.

‘Tis the season! My son would like to major in meteorology, which greatly limits the school choices. A generous relative paid into a 529, so he’s free in VA. George Mason and VT are the only 2 schools instate that offer a 5yr program. Tech is extremely hard to get in for sciences. He’s a fairly average kid with a 3.7 gpa.
Looking out of state, he’d love to go to the University of Maryland, which is $30,000+ out of state, and also difficult to get into for science. Fingers are super crossed that he’ll get a teeny tiny edge in that he’s al ultimate legacy. My uncle won the Nobel Prize in Astrophysics for his work with neutrinos, and the old field house was named after relatives as well.
Soooo much stress. I keep saying to him that this time next yr, he’ll know where he’s going and the uncertainty will be behind him, but I also want time to slow down as it’s just the 2 of us and I’ll be left with only the cats running around the house.
Congrats! I believe for meteorology You take pretty much every math class there is. Hope he likes math 😊
