[quote=Anonymous]OP here- Thanks everyone! These were all really kind and encouraging responses.

Some people were asking for more info--main interest for a future career (and has been for many years) is food/culinary/beverage, but NOT restaurant industry (due to lifestyle). Thinking more packaged goods/product development. If this is still an interest during application time I could see trying to find programs to provide those options.

If math wasn't a challenge I'd steer towards food science at a large state school--not closing that door and will see how math and high school science play out.

We are also open to letting them explore entrepreneurial paths if they have a foundation, a solid idea and good business sense (or willing to get input).

I currently live in the south (but was raised in intense/cut-throat NE area) and people (even in a highly educated/affluent cohort) are intense as they try to get DC a limited spot (from our school) at our respected flagship. However, attending "secondary"/non-flagship (high admit) schools is pretty common with no stigma. Grateful for that.[/quote]
