High majors are always guaranteed to stand out and give you advantage. Let the team admitting you know that you’ve made your research and you are updated on the field that you are interested in.

Show that you are interested in issues arising with contention in the industry to display your interest in the field. This gives you an upper hand over all the other students. Applications that make it through are those that have ideas which have originated from outside the classroom. Get an internship before joining grad school in order to get some first-hand experience in the field you are interested in.
