my dream school is UT Austin. I wanted to pick something that isn't too competitive/basic and something that interest me. So, I thought nutritional science would be a good major. Do you guys think nutritional science at UT is a non-competitive major so I can also spend a good amount of time on extracurriculars. My only concern is that, if I don't get into medical school, there's not much I can do with a major in nutrition. So what do you guys suggest?

It's a pretty easy major at UT from what I've heard. One girl I know got her Bachelor's in it here and is currently in some kind of graduate school before she actually goes to work as a nutritionist. It can't be worse than biology or chemistry in terms of job prospects.

What do you mean I can't get a job with this??!?

While I normally tell people that "we don't care what your major or minor is, only that you do well", this really seems like fluff.
