Top 5 major and no plans as of yet. May stay on campus and work/take a class.

Sorry, that was supposed to say “Top 5 undeclared major”. He is focusing on Econ but doesn’t want to do finance or PE.

T-whatever? Major?

T-15, undecided STEM

Are they not interested in paid research roles on campus? I would think a T15 would offer plenty of these opportunities.

They are interested, that process is not finished yet, so there is a chance it will happen. But there is very high demand, so can't count on it happening.

Yep. Same here. He's going to hang out with friends, make money in a regular summer job, travel.
He has his lifetime to grind.
Freshman at an Ivy.

Neat! Was this his first choice?

Yes. He worked in a summer camp and at a country club pool in HS and he wanted something different.

+1 Mine has always wanted to be a counselor at the camp he spent many summers at, he got the job and really views it as a wonderful last summer spent in nature.
