[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Taking Geosystems instead of physics will absolutely knock you off track for a top college. You may not care, but that’s the way it is.[/quote]

See, OP? Typical DCUM: What top college? Who defines top in whatever field the OP's son wants to study? Should he apply to a prestigious school that doesn't necessarily have programs that are the best for his major and interests, or which is in a location where he will be miserable for four years, or which offers a social and day to day living experience that isn't right for him, but as long as it's "top" in someone's rankings....

OP, this forum ramps up anxieties. Go talk to the counselor or engage help focused just on your son and his potential major interests. [/quote]

No need to shoot the messenger.   As I said, you may not care.  I sure don’t.  Doesn’t make it less true.  [b]Nobody I know who went the geosystems route went to a top college.  The top schools are simply too competitive in admissions.[/b]  [/quote]

Nobody you know doesn't mean it does not happen.  My niece graduated HS with neither calculus nor physics and she wanted to be a ballerina but injury derailed that career.  She spent 2 years at GMU studied humanities.   She got accepted into the FlexMed program after her sophomore year @GMU.  She is now plastic surgeon.

Top college is a cake walk in comparing to FledMed program.[/quote]
