kid confirmed his HS extra credit will allow him to do a BS & MS in 4yrs -- he thought he could just add a semester to get it done, but in talking w/ his dept head, the dean suggested the idea of doing it all in 4yrs. With his department on board, it's a cool path to maybe pushing into R&D for a career (who really knows at this point...but he's thinking that direction)
he also confirmed his scholarship money is still good even after he technically graduates a semester early & starts grad school (higher $/credit tuition)
i know he had my brilliance ( ;) [i never had a 4.0] ), but also my adhd, so grinding & checking off critical path tasks was not my strong suit
and he seems happy, not stressed; getting outside & meeting all his responsibilities equally
just wanting to boast a little here...so proud
Dude that is awesome and I’m sure you are super proud! Seeing our kids succeed is why we chose this life. Good for him!! And great parenting!
That’s awesome!!
That’s awesome! I had friends and coworkers that took advantage of a 5-year bachelors/masters program at UCSD. Looking back, it really set them up for some successes in their careers. For one, it helped them realize they didn’t want to pursue a PhD and continue on a track that they realized they would not enjoy.
Our sophomore has been back for a few weeks. He has a mentorship job on campus which required him getting back to school early. It seemed nice to have a slow start to the school year rather than moving in a starting class within a day or two. He’s stoked to be back with his school friends.
Last year was a tough ending with the campus turning into a policed state and most of campus closed off with cyclone fencing. New administrators at school, so hopefully things will be different this year.
He also has some wiggle room with his course work from taking college courses in HS. So far he’s picking up a minor. Chem major with physics minor. He and friends are camping in the redwood park his weekend, and a few went backpacking last weekend.
Years ago our kid was in a frat house at Cal. He told the management company the lock on his door wasn't working. They couldn't be bothered to fix it, until everyone moved out at the end of the semester and then they fixed it, after stealing everything he left in the room for the next year. Obviously they denied and no proof, but his was the only room stolen from and the front door of the building was locked.
