Melissa: Choosing a Major
Channel: Flipping Failure
Date: 2020-02-13

At MIT's Campus Preview Weekend, Melissa was intrigued by what she heard and saw at the Course 15 (Management) open house. Hearing other students talk down about Course 15, however, led Melissa to explore other more technical majors at MIT because they seemed to be what everyone else was interested in. After switching majors three times, a conversation with her mother causes her to shift her perspective. Melissa ultimately declares Course 15 as her major where she finds support in finding her own path.
