I genuinely view people who bog themselves down with dual-majors as genuine as mentally damaged, and doing it only to appear intelligence. In other words, they are pseuds.
Double majoring actually has neither benefit on grad-school admissions nor career prospects. In fact, it, more often than not, worsens them, as they now have to take a hectic amount of courses and their performance in turn drops. Even a minor confines your freedom as to which courses you should take and often fucks with your schedule. Literally the only thing that matters at the end of the day for undergrad is GPA.

>b-but I want to learn the material!
That makes you EVEN MORE retarded, because you are 100% free, at any time, limited only by the availability of seats, to "audit" the course, and self-study these topics on your own initiative without detriment to your academic performance. But this doesn't have street-cred so, you can't brag about it.

I feel the need to totally eviscerate every little snot-nosed undergrad with a superiority complex that even brings it up in conversation. If I owned a business, I would throw every single double-major in the trash regardless of performance. They are all worthless scum. They're the ones unironically happy about bending over backwards for the universities and allowing them to get financially fucked in the ass; and unironically think it is the university, rather than their own selves responsible for transmitting this knowledge. I laugh in retrospect at all the SCUM in college I knew who were dual-majors, because most had to take an extra year of education (note, to Europeans, that's 5 years, 5 fucking years of undergrad!).... Haha, and guess what? It was all to no avail and they are all slaving away making sub $50,000 USD salaries. Indeed, I would say that double-majors have worst graduate prospects because they are all burnt out and tired. They are the most insufferable pseuds you'll ever meet; and they'll feel the need to mention, well until they are in the 30s, and 40s, that they, were double-majors; their self-awarded life-time accomplishment award.

You realize that the entire purpose of taking undergraduate courses is to get credit toward a degree, right? Your 'freedom' isn't lessened when you declare a major. You really don't have that much 'freedom' to choose whatever courses you want, anyway--you can't pile up 100-level courses from a dozen different disciplines and never move on to 200 or 300-level courses, it just doesn't work that way. Nobody would stop you if you wanted to pay for those courses but there is literally nothing to be gained by this process. You're in college for a degree, not just to fill your head with the things you want to read about.
Pretentious autodidact pseuds are almost as bad as college athletes.

Yes. There isn't a reason to because you run the risk of lowering your overall performance and, actually decreasing the amount of free time you have to invest in other academic pursuits. Instead of research opportunities, and even having a social life, you waste time with extra-courses that neither graduate school admissions care about, nor employers. It's to toot your own horn and look intelligent but in reality it shows the opposite. These programs at the undergrad level confer only a summary understanding, a superficial outlook; the real rigorousity lies in the monotonous and worthless amount of busy-body work designed mostly to accommodate affirmative action students who otherwise would fail if the course weight rested solely on testing.

What benefit is it?
If you wanted to learn the material, you would have been totally free to have audited the courses without needing to worry about an endless barrage of meaningless assignments standing in way of your performance for other things.
You just want to take these courses and have the additional major so other people think you are learned and intelligent (likely to make up for the fact, you aren't). Actually intelligent people pay little attention to what courses were taken in undergrad as they seldom represent that you have a good grasp on the material.
In fact, all undergraduate education in 2018 is a quite frankly, awful, and serves only as a litmus test to see if you have what it takes to get into graduate school– that's it. Thus, a smart person realizes only GPA matters and takes measures to ensure it remains high instead of burdening themselves with an an even greater amount of courses. Indeed, I can confidently say that my undergrad "education" was the biggest waste of 4 years in my entire life. And yet I had to do it simply because one cannot progress toward postgraduate education without it (where my real education finally began). Again, the only thing that matters in undergraduate "education" is performance. To pretend otherwise shows that you are either a vapid idiot, a pseud, or someone rationalizing the fact that they've made some poor decisions.

Ambitious for the sake of being ambitious? Low IQ and vain. Intelligent people work smart, not hard.
An ambitious person with an actual end to his ambition would realize the pitfalls of such an undue amount of courses and see how it would potentially jeopardize their future entry into high-tier graduate programs by taxing his grade point average. Instead their eyes would be set on an MD PhD program or Yale Law School or something grand, and if they aimed that high—provided they were intelligent instead of just pseuds looking to go to the next level (as often turns out to be the case)— they would have long ago realized that being a dual-major wouldn't help them out one bit in achieving that objective.

That's fine if you minor to make your humanities degree more marketable, which is an honest admission and a genuine justification unlike pretending it's for a "legitimate academic pursuit". Moreover, minors, if decided early, don't require any additional credits. The original guy was gloating his dual-major with a minor and pretending as if was proof of him being smart-shit; your reasoning is more humble and resembles nothing of the sort.
Lastly, there is nothing wrong with auditing courses. Anyone with free-time in college, and a genuine interest to learn additional material, should consider it. It's especially useful for language learning and it makes the experience less stressful considering you don't have your GPA on the line.

i hear what you're saying, and while i agree that a double major probably doesn't confer any advantage worth hurting your GPA over, i'd imagine that, all things being equal, a double major is at least marginally more attractive for professional programs. my intuition is that many liberal arts degrees aren't really so demanding that to double major would be prohibitively difficult -- you need the same amount of credits to graduate, and one's ability to produce a capstone paper, or original research, at the undergraduate level, isn't likely to be more constrained if your other coursework is belongs to the same department, a different department, or a grab-bag of departments. it at least signals to admissions dudes that you have two strong interests, that you could organize yourself and your studies appropriately, and that you probably didn't really bullshit your whole way through. would you prefer a candidate who had a background in, say, sociology and philosophy, or just sociology? the former sounds like a serious person, the latter a frivolous one, to me at least.

(i say this as someone who double major'd, but didn't get into YLS, so due warning to anyone else)


i couldn't speak as to doctoral programs -- many of those, its probably just better to be highly specialized, and its probably better to spend as much time with professors in your field as possible (for future networking). an exception would be to double in math if you were doing also doing the soft sciences, as that would give you a leg up in grad level course work.

i agree about dual degrees though. like, why would anyone wait around another year to get a BS *and* a BA. insane.

Intellectual ambition. The guidance and tutelage one *can* receive in colleges, in particular good colleges, is absolutely invaluable in humanities and of great help in STEM fields. Your 4 years of voluntary jerking off in a state factory school that yielded little more than "reading on your own" do not change that.

Practical ambition. Double major will certainly not directly tangibly affect your salary, but it can be just the edge one needs to successfully compete both for work and research vacancies in one of many interdisciplinary fields that lately pop up like mushrooms from a myriad of life sciences and computational fields to endless hybrid humanities. Yes, that involves doubling down for diminishing returns, but guess what, faggot, this is what competing at the highest level is. Although, it's cute that you think Ivy league institutions are desperate to admit people who sat on their hands during undergrad "because only vain pseuds study hard".

>Double majoring actually has neither benefit on grad-school admissions nor career prospects. In fact, it, more often than not, worsens them, as they now have to take a hectic amount of courses and their performance in turn drops. Even a minor confines your freedom as to which courses you should take and often fucks with your schedule. Literally the only thing that matters at the end of the day for undergrad is GPA.

I'm realizing this now in my final year as a Philosophy/Writing double major. I'm still almost definitely going to be getting departmental honors in Philosophy, but I think I could've had a 4.0 if I had stuck to one major. The reason I didnt want to choose one over the other is that I knew I would write much more fiction and poetry with the pressure of classes encouraging me to, and I have a good collection and think I've improved as a writer, but now I want to apply for a philosophy research Fulbright and my grades are just average since I've been balancing both. But departmental honors is still good, r-right?

i believe you (that this is about the population of grad school candidates, and not just undergrad students), but i'm objecting to your use of the inferences you've drawn about the placement of english/lit in the middle of the rankings. its not intuitively obvious to me that this fact is better explained by your suppositions: that the students discussed were PhD candidates; and that these students are likely smarter than a random sample of english undergrads, given the limited job prospects of the major.

for one, its totally plausible that a random selection of undergrad students (not just those contemplating grad school) would produce english/lit in the same ranking positions. no auxiliary assumptions are needed to explain this. second, your auxiliary assumption doesn't really make sense: if it were true that english had such sour job prospects and that the academic ladder was a necessary climb, i would expect the GRE scores to be comparatively less the other major populations, as there would be more students applying to grad school who would otherwise not be great candidates.

further, i know english majors who are not academics (nor baristas or w/e,) so i doubt that its really true that english majors have such dour prospects. and, i doubt that college students have such great foresight that they would only choose english given that they knew they would need to do further schooling, and thus self-select for smart kinds from the very beginning of college (another implication of your assumption). that doesn't square with any of my experience with capricious, curious, or feckless young adults.

If you're interviewed, you can explain the situation which they should be able to gather that you're intelligent. If your GPA is above 3.5, your application will be considered. If not, you need to take advantage of your writing and do your best to fill in every prompt to the fullest to make it past the accursed people who initially look at applications for almost anything.
Don't be upset anon and don't worry about it. The people who were told useful advice by their parents and what not, tend to be boring, dull and left with very little feelings of real emotion such as resentment or regret which really fuel writing and lend themselves to unique ideas, and allows you to see problems that other's don't. It sounds bitter but it isn't really. You'll be able to offer unique experience and prevent people from making similar mistakes one day. I'm proud of you for admitting how it is and seeing things as they actually are.

Hey I appreciate that anon, really. My overall GPA will probably be between 3.0 and 3.5, so not bad but will definitely need to have some stellar essays. Philosophy GPA will be 3.5 at minimum though, and I have very close relationships with a couple of my professors and have given departmental lectures/helped one them write a syllabus for a class so those are good additions as well as lending itself to a couple really strong letters of recommendation. I'm only really worried because I'm a poorfag laborer outside of school so I need something like a Fulbright.

You're wrong on average med school GPA; only approaching that high are top-tier schools like Harvard Med and JHUSOM. Even MD PhD admission averages aren't that high overall, more like 3.75 with a high MCAT and lots of research experience.
That aside, I mostly agree with you.
