| Puzzledad,
Your son sounds truly outstanding. With his love of research, it is highly likely he will end up pursuing graduate education. Since it sounds likely that he will excel at his safety school and will likely make connections with his professors, he will probably have wonderful options for graduate programs. With these programs, it's not the university admissions committees, but the colleges/departments themselves that choose from among the applicants. I'm sure his future will be bright even if it doesn't evolve in the way you both expected in the short term. |
