Op here
business/econ
maybe medicine or dentistry.

kid is a strong student in challenging classes but is not a creative or an academic/scholar or an engineer in the making.
We are both in medicine so there is a pull there but I see him more in business/exon/finance. He is undecided.

An undecided kid doesn’t need a pre professional school.

I agree with PP that your kid doesn't necessarily need pre-professional, choice of major will make the difference in what you are describing.

That said - any program that is in business, education, nursing will be pre-professional.

Pretty strong on Engineering, CS, and also Business with the #1 COOP program, so could be viewed as pre-professional oriented.

Fordham would be an excellent choice for business, but not for pre-med.

Pre-professional can mean different things. It can mean everyone is focused on the first job they get right out of college, as opposed to being interested in having an intellectual experience. Or it can mean that lots of students there will end up applying to PhD programs, law school, med school, etc.. after getting a liberal arts degree.
