High school is all about following different tangents in your interests. However, you must keep in mind that choosing a major that represents your work throughout high school is your greatest security in ensuring admission to the colleges that you apply to. Colleges are analyzing your interests, and what you could eventually become. They tend to favor students that have possess great potential, based on their track record of activities and achievements consistent with the plans stated in your application. As such, it is highly recommended that you consider applying to a major that makes sense given the other particulars of your application (i.e. the focus of your extracurricular involvement, course selection, honors and distinctions, etc.)

This does not mean that you can't switch majors or path. Keep in mind that the information above is for gaining acceptance to colleges. Generally, you will be able to easily change your major at a liberal arts college, but are likely to encounter more difficulty transferring into a highly-competitive school at a larger university. Listing an underrepresented major on your application is a sound strategy only if a coherent and compelling case can be made for your selection.
