It's very common for students aiming for top PhD programs to take and do well in PhD level courses at their undergrad institution.

This is also a good read for future social scientists: https://www.amazon.com/Regression-Stories-Analytical-Methods-Research/dp/110702398X#averageCustomerReviewsAnchor[/quote]

Thank you for the above recommendations.  I'll send the links to him.  I don't know if he's interested in grad school at this time, but who knows how he'll feel in a decade when he's about to get out of undergrad.  He already has some idea of what he wants his senior thesis to be and it is definitely in the area of econometric modeling in political science.  [/quote]

Your kid sounds like a perfect fit for TJ, even if he is non-STEM.  I think he'll enjoy it a lot.[/quote]
How desperate are you, replying to your own three previous posts!  get a life.  TJ is science and technology!  STEM![/quote]

DP. There are obviously requirements for completing the TJ diploma, but there are a lot of paths through TJ and tons of tremendous options for what to do next with a TJ education.

TJ has the recent governor of New Hampshire and the current mayor of Richmond, among many others who have gone into politics at various levels. Indeed, we could use more scientifically literate politicians in this day and age.

For the OP, I would recommend tracking into data science with future plans of that sort. I suspect there are a lot of strong poli-sci programs that would welcome someone who is explicitly STEM-oriented. Unique profiles are a big win in the college application process.[/quote]
