<p>Marian, my son’s friend was very happy to apply EA to one of the ivies and major in engineering. He’s now 25, and in a serious relationship with a girl who is also an engineer. I think most of his friends were still STEM types. Was this true for you, too?</p>
<p>The worm really didn’t have much choice for UG schools. Even though he had top SAT scores in English and Writing, and had won $$ in national writing contests, only the tech and CS schools wanted him. I’ll never know if this is because he applied as a junior, but at least one of the rejections was surprising, as a dozen family members had attended that school.</p>
