Philosophy is intended major, but would like a school that isn't so competitive that he'll be boxed out of internships by the Econ people - or that allows kids with good not great math skills to add some Econ or data science or something to philosophy so he can leave with a job.

Good school based ECs and paid summer jobs, but no competitive summer programs (yet, he applied to some for this year)

location - not west coast, but otherwise open. size - open. [/quote]

Do you think a declared philosophy major will be a hook at top schools?  I would seriously investigate that.  Few high schools teach philosophy and to claim to want to major in a subject you've barely explored will be hard to make sound authentic.[/quote]

Some do though. [/quote]

like a lot of things, you have to show interest in activities done out of school. very few high schools have deep programming in bio medical engineering or AI or agricultural research or sustainable architecture. This is all done outside school. But agree, if kid hasn't done research or summer programming and just jots Philosophy in major box, it's not helpful. The opposite probably. [/quote]
