[Answer] When Choosing a University, What Matters More: the School or the Major?

Choose the major first, then the university. Of course, there is an exception if you already have a particular school you really want to attend. After choosing a major, you should match it with your actual exam results and then look for universities where that major ranks relatively high in strength. That makes your application more targeted.

If you choose the school first, you may end up unable to get into a suitable major. Even the best universities have weak or problematic majors, and if you get reassigned to one of them, it can become quite troublesome.
