[quote=Anonymous]Know a current student at an Ivy. Straight As in HS, good in math and science, great extra curriculars. Has always been a hard worker. Goes to an Ivy and found classes packed with science students who were already far more advanced. Felt like her science background just wasn't strong enough and dropped the hard sciences. She'll be just fine in life, loves her school, her friends, will leave with a great network. No regrets. But the difficulty of the major, and the background you bring to it might make a difference. If seeking medical school entrance is to satisfy a parent that's too bad. If it is what the kid/student really wants, weigh all possibilities. Find out how supportive the intended major /department is. Attitudes probably vary from school to school and department to department.[/quote]
