🏫 College Advising

A high-achieving student tells their college advisor they are genuinely undecided about their major and future career path. What is the most appropriate and ethical advice the advisor should offer regarding their college applications?

A Strongly encourage them to declare a highly competitive major to impress admissions committees.
B Advise them to apply to colleges with strong liberal arts programs or those known for supporting undecided students.
C Suggest they randomly pick a major to fill out the application, then change it later.
D Recommend they delay college until they are absolutely certain of their major.

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

Encouraging exploration within a supportive environment (like liberal arts colleges or those with robust advising for undecided students) empowers students to discover their path without undue pressure.
