I have no idea where his focus lies. TBH, I have never heard the words Triclosan or PFAS. When he talks about working on smaller concentrations to create a new calibration curve or the need to detect very low concentrations or that the chemical analysis data was very difficult to optimize, I tend to to get lost.
We visited these schools during spring break. He fell in love with NYU but decided he wanted an actual campus. He was born and raised in the suburbs so would very much like to experience the opposite. Cornell and Georgetown are his reach schools. He doesn’t have a dream school but loved the vibe and campus at Georgia Tech where my other child currently attends for CS. It’s not on his list because he doesn’t think he’ll get in. My oldest graduated from USC.
