<p>Yes, S has spoken with the directors of undergraduate studies in two departments, as well with some of the profs. Without getting into too much detail here, he was told by one of the specialty advisors that he should be able to get placement out of an intro sequence based on his background and experience and directly into 20000 level coursework. The prof who actually teaches the sequence was not available when S visited in April, but has been kept in the loop.</p>
<p>S plans to touch base with the prof and advisor over the summer and meet with them before O-Week begins. (S and DH are going out a couple of days early, in part so S can deal with this.) I expect S will get some pushback fom advisors on what he’d like to take, which is why I have encouraged him to read the catalog and have a variety of options for when he sees the advisor, who I assume at O-Week, will know little about each student. </p>
<p>Sosc and Hum both in first year! Agh! How can anyone breathe long enough to appreciate either?</p>
