Wait a day-or-two before you send you letter in. There's something not quite right with it so I think you can improve on what you've written. The second draft will probably come to you after a night's sleep or two.
In the meantime, I suggest the following change:
From
"I would counsel students, even those who have declared a major, to use their time taking general education courses to explore their interests. By doing so, they will find themselves declaring, and perhaps changing, their majors. I would even advise..."
To
"I often counseled students to take general education courses to explore their interests. By doing so, they found themselves declaring, or perhaps changing, their majors. I sometimes advised..."
You could also metion that a personality exercise such as Briggs Myers can be very helpful, if the result produces a clear identification of the personality type of the student.

Good luck.
Please try another draft.
Kindest regards
