@intparent, actually I should clarify: we definitely want our kids to graduate in 4 years. We have been very clear on this with them. Happy to say that D1 is on track with a BS+Masters which normally takes 5 years but she is finishing in 4. It’s been her decision to overload and get the permissions from advisors etc. Husband and I have supported her in what her educational goals are. What I’m saying is that there are times when they have to choose electives, or if they want to add a minor or to overload a semester. I will not make the decision for her but I will be sounding board and offer advice all within the constraints of finishing on time. D2 will be a freshman in college in the fall and this is simply what I was imparting to her as well.
