[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As the parent of a recent triple major graduate, who is headed to a top ten law school next year, two thoughts. First, being a triple major does get attention. It's not an instant passport to anything, but it always seems to spark a conversation about academic interests, which is usually a big plus. But second, your child should check on whether each major has a thesis or capstone requirement. My child worked his butt off with three theses, while most classmates coasted through senior year. [/quote] But that does not make your child better…or even normal TBH. I am sure that most kids in your kid’s “top ten” law school did not triple, or even double major. It is not necessary is the point. And it is suspect in the eyes of some (ie “what are they trying to prove? Did they have any life outside of school”, etc). Many of you are desperately trying to dissuade us from our perspective…but we disagree with you. Sorry for all of those (potentially) wasted hours and/or tuition dollars. [/quote] Parents whose kids had just one or 2 majors are getting all defensive & panicky here. Nobody is saying you or your kid is a loser. But FFS stop acting like it’s not impressive that a kid can be versatile & industrious enough to knock out 3 majors in 4 yrs. Just being able to configure their schedule to fit in 3 different sets of classes required for majors is quite an achievement, much less completing the classes themselves. [/quote] Was going to double major but the intro courses were frankly beneath me so I did not. Took upper level courses in that field and another instead. If I saw a triple major I would think, wow, this kid really must like intro courses….[/quote] Or ... They tested out of intro courses due to AP credits (true for me, a double major plus one course shy of a triple)[/quote]
