[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am impressed your child is asking for advice 😀[/quote]

To be honest I am trying to nudge her from premed to CS.
The time it takes and the student loan requirements concern me.[/quote]

If pre med, definitely go to an instate or a private school with a big discount. Don’t waste your money during undergrad. Also, does she do great on standardized tests and can she memorize information quickly? Is she truly fascinated by biological science? If she’s not, or if she’s a slightly more social or business type person, then explore CS.[/quote]

Yes,
She does very well on standardized test and likes math and science classes.
In high school she didn’t like the CS class because of the teacher but now she likes the CS course in college.

CS is pretty unsocial, but there are IT disciplines that are good for social people good in math. Management Information Systems is a Business degree that moves into the IT field and it’s a pretty good option with less rigorous math and no need for programming. I think they take like a little easy programming just to get an idea of what it is but they are not usually programming focused. [/quote]
