text: i'm assuming that you mean that they didn't get into an impacted major right away as a freshman...right?\n\nwell, you have a couple of choices: \n1) Attend a community college and work on transfering into that major at a later date.  Keep those grades up though...\n2) Attend another university that has the major you want that you can get into.\n3) Attend the original university and try to transfer into the selecting major at a later date.  This can be tricky depending on if you can get the courses you need to declare that major.  You need to speak to an advisor right away about this.\n4) Attend the original university and select another major that is similar enough to give you most of the same classes and hope for the best.  \n\nKeep in mind that most people change their minds, so what you want to start with might not be what you ultimately end up with.  This might be fates way to tell you that you don't really want that major ;)
