<p>My son is strong in Math, so I am thinking Statistics might be good backup with these days Data Science is growing to be a good profession in Web 2.0 companies.</p>
<p>Also, with ECs and research in Bio, how would colleges feel if a student applies to Eng or CS but ECs in Bio?

<p>The reasons my son chose ChemE were:
- he had strong interests in science.
- he felt that ChemE would provide a good back-up career if he decided not to go to med school.
- he felt that even tho ChemE is one of the most difficult majors, his strengths in math and sciences would allow him to still get a high GPA (4.0 BCMP GPA and a 3.99 cum GPA (one A- in a Spanish class)</p>
<p>In the end, it worked out for the best. I think his ChemE education helped him do well on the MCAT and was an excellent foundation for med school. His med school doesnt give grades, but tells the students what “quartile” they are in after they complete a module and are tested. He has consistently been in the top quartile. </p>
<p>For your son, he needs to pick a major that he loves, will do very well in, and as you mentioned, could lead to an alternate career. </p>
