[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, it seems like a strength rather than a weakness, but I don’t think any of us can tell you how it might play out in college admissions. We certainly can’t say that School X wants robotics but School Y would prefer engineering majors who build stage sets. TBH my main takeaway it might be too early to assume this kid will do engineering, especially if he is a…sophomore? (No SAT yet). He sounds like he might prefer a SLAC. [/quote] It’s possible he’ll change his mind. But at this point he is convinced this is what he wants, and if I say “Oh you could probably get into a school like (insert list of SLAC’s without engineering) he would be horrified and switch to robotics. Since that isn’t my goal, I am just looking for engineering options. He loves to make stuff, from very early childhood, and he has the academic chops for engineering. So, I don’t think it’s a bad choice for him. [/quote]
