Thank you for your insights, @crknwk2000! Our daughters sound very similar. I am trying to encourage her to follow her gut/heart, despite her desire to always be super-analytical. (My wife and I were both English majors, so not sure where she gets this!)
@warblersrule, that’s a good point – she has a lot of AP credits, and has talked about possibly exploring a double major so she could graduate with two degrees in four years. She expressed some concern last night about her ability to do Math + Chemistry at UCB, and we need to nail that down.
