<p>Thanks for the advice. She actually wants to major in Speech Pathology which typically ends with a MS. She is on a full four year undergrad ride so undergrad costs are not a problem. I think she is trying to stretch the four year scholarship to include her Masters. I agree taking grad course work and doing clinical experience as an undergrad would make her more competitive. At this point she wants to work with individuals and not teach, but at just turned 18 much can change. Her school has many fine grad programs and PhD options so over the next year or two her views may change. I suggested she at least use her scholarship to study abroad for a year and she seems open to that idea. As for taking grad classes (she only took two) as a 17 year old she seemed to fit in well and she said her profs were surprised when they found out her age at the end. It actually seemed a better fit then when she started taking classes at the high school when she was only in seventh grade, or com college at 15, there was a huge age spread there. But she has always been successful and well accepted. She does not seek the limelight but prefers to blend in with the other students. She has normal peer age friendships hence our decision to keep her in high school and grad with her peers rather than early. It is hard though when you are academically so far ahead of your peers. I can see how under grad classes are not challenging. She actually sat in on a few times in an abstract number theory grad course I took one summer at age 10 and aced the midterm, blew through Multivariable Calc and Diff Eq in 11th grade and hates math. Go figure!</p>
