[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent of 3 NMF/NMS here. State flagship is fine but he will have to be more "aggressive" searching opportunities (lab to join, internships...etc.) and maintain high GPA. State schools have no "hand-holding" by administration staff. It is very much sink or swim approach. Some people like it, some don't. If he is able to do all the right things - high GPA, internships, and/or lab work, he will be able to get into top grad programs, most likely fully funded. [/quote] fwiw I went to a highly ranked private university (not Ivy but still top 20) and there was no hand holding there either when it came to getting a job. Internships were a little easier but they were all unpaid so why wouldn't it be. However, that was over 10 years ago so maybe things have changed. I doubt it though.[/quote]
