Why? If a student wants to enter a particular field and a college is willing to admit them and let them enroll in that major, what right do you have to attempt to “sort” them into something you believe is a more appropriate field? By all accounts, the student described in [this report](Sir John Gurdon, Nobel Prize winner, was 'too stupid' for science at school) should have pursued anything but science. This wasn’t the opinion of strangers on the internet; it was written by a teacher who knew him well. And he was wrong. How many other brilliant minds would be lost to humanity if we didn’t permit them to try?
