[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He will have to compete with all the students masquerading as History majors who will immediately switch to CS or engineering the moment they get accepted. Our school has quite a few of them. You can immediately spot them because they apply for their "true" major to the state schools where you cannot switch easily.[/quote]

Hmm.  OP here.  Kid attends a private and has taken (or will take) all history electives including an honors history research/seminar class as as senior.  His classes and extracurriculars do not support a stealth switch to a STEM major.  [/quote]

I am not debating your kid's interest. Just saying that unfortunately history has become a prime stealth major for applicants. Esp. private school kids who often have access to expensive college counselors who 'position' them to masquerade as history majors. [/quote]

OP here.  Computer Science was my kid's one B+.  He hated that class.  No confusing his future plans.   :lol: [/quote]
