[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC took Spanish (in MS), Arabic, and Latin, had only one CS course (and lots of EC theater interest, since someone mentioned that) and got into every CS school applied to; they like to see both sides of the brain in action as much as they like to see pointy kids. Engineering schools all have programs in the arts, and they are filled with ... engineering students.

Encourage him to be genuine and explore interests. Don't try to cultivate what you think today some college four years from now might want to see in what he thinks he wants to do now. A lot can change in four years.

So, if he wants to do robotics and dual language, figure out which is easier to do as an EC. My vote would be robotics as the EC, as it is much harder to learn a language on your own and show a measurable result to a college, whereas many people learn robotics initially on their own, and there are all sorts of ways to show what you've accomplished.[/quote]

I think that is where we are at since he has genuine interest in both. That's why we moved to the more tangible side of the pros & cons to evaluate it as a tie breaker. We're coming from public where the tracks are more defined. We chose private for the breadth of courses and now we are having a difficult time choosing. So many opportunities available, how do you choose? It's a great problem to have!
