<p>Curmudgeon, Thank you. I tried to get our daughter interested in engineering schools, because I thought it would be a better fit, but she came back with liking pure math over applied math and perhaps wanting to be a music major…so, here we are. An analogy: I have a friend who I can tell is very bright because of what she talks about (and what she does for a living), but I regularly have to resist the urge to complete her sentences. Our daughter is not quite like that, but sometimes her sentences come out as “word salad” if she is excited/distracted. My friend went to a small callege where the profs took an interest in her & helped. That is what I am hoping for our daughter.</p>
