Newly interested in major, so ECs don't add up
Answered

I'm recently interested in astronomy/astrophysics in a double major with a humanity, but I'm a junior--my ECs don't add up for the Stem side. Would that hurt my application?

Hey,

I don't think it would! Changing your mind is absolutely fine and normal!

But you might want to explain somewhere on your application how and why you changed your mind.

+ you're a junior, so you still have plenty of time to start a new EC that matches your future plans!

Hope this helps :)
