[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is she surrounded by competitive Asian math nerds who grind and have no fun?[/quote]

Thanks for chiming in with your racism.

Math isn't about grinding actually. That's not who it attracts. It's not the same mindset as premeds have.[/quote]

NP. Can you say more about this? Who does math attract? My DC is in hs and really likes math and is thinking about majoring in it, and this thread is making me a bit nervous. DC is very focused on going to an Ivy and I worry about the best college fit, not the best college per USNWR rankings. [/quote]

I'm that PP. Math attracted people who were... really into math! It was collaborative because they were not all about grades and outcompeting each other. They generally took math classes that were just for math/physics/etc. concentrators and not people who just needed to check the box for their major.

I majored in a science that attracted a lot of premeds and that was brutal both for grades and because a lot of people weren't actually that excited about the classes/subjects, they were just taking them to fulfill the requirement.[/quote]
