<p>USC (Trojans) offers a program for HS seniors where they can complete their final year in a special program at the college, and then move on to undergrad at USC or elsewhere.</p>
<p>I asked my S (now a Jr in HS) whether he might be interested, as USC is one of the places he’ll be applying (my H is faculty there, so S would get tutition remission.) However, my S is really enjoying HS waterpolo and recognizes that he’s not big enough to make it on a team at a D-1 school like USC. So he said no, he wanted to finish out at the HS for the sports and social aspects. It sounded reasonable to me, and he’s taking a large load of APs plus a CTY on line class in linear algebra and thus getting the academic challenge. So the conversation ended there.</p>
