College Major

Hey everyone,

I just got an offer from UCL for History, and am waiting on Oxford to respond on a history offer as well. Would doing a liberal arts major really ruin my chances at securing an internship at a Boutique or BB? I know that UCL is a target so i'm not entirely sure if major will really matter THAT much. Please keep in mind i'm an international student from the US. I have only applied to UC Berkeley within the states and am not too keen on an acceptance. I am fine with working in London by the way.
