<p>He got an A- in History this year, with the major 4q grade being a 10 page research paper, so writing papers is not the issue. (He’s electing to take AP Gov/Pol next year!) He needs to be engaged in the topic or else he doesn’t care. One advantage we heard w WPI is they require a 6 course Liberal Arts sequence, which doesn’t have to include English; given his interest in History/Government, that’s what he would choose.</p>
