[quote=Anonymous]My daughter hates laboratory sciences, not a big fan of math either (although she is amazing at it!). Majoring in CS at Harvard. Was admitted to MIT, but turned it down as she would have to take Physics and Chem there — not so at Harvard (at least that is what she told me, I have not looked it up myself!) Here’s a few tips for you. Make sure your kid does 4 years of Math (do not count CS as Math — many kids at our school who were advanced in Math took CS in their final year as a “Math” course and failed to meet the 4 years of Math at Ivies, etc.) Do CC courses or virtual courses of necessary. Have your DD do math competitions. Look into MIT PRIMES and similar programs. Really develop a spike in Math — it’ll get her places. My DD focused on CS and worked her butt off learning something (CS) she was exposed to in 9th grade. Her biggest regret is not pursuing Math when she had the innate talent. It would have freed up a lot of time for her in HS.[/quote]
