My son will be graduating from a 3-2 program next May with majors in physics and aerospace engineering and a minor in astrophysics. He’ll have done it in five years. I don’t want to go into all of the details, let’s just say his situation is as idiosyncratic as he is : ). If, along the way, he had decided that he was switching his major to theology or military history or dropping out of school to become an itinerant musician, we would not have been surprised, and, at one point, he said that if he could pick up another major, it would be philosophy. Part of the reason that it has worked for him may be that he attended public schools-AP credits counted and as a NMF, he had substantial merit aid at his first school. He is currently, heavily and happily involved in Nanosat. Wow, I’ve gone into a lot of details, anyway.
