OP here! Last night I told S24 it makes a difference what you want to study because it changes how hard some schools are to get into, ie engineering and business programs can be harder. He said he likes math and I said well, maybe you should research math as a major. He thought I was crazy, didn’t believe one could even major in math. I said to look in the mailer he received that day and he found it.

That was the end of the conversation with him but DH and I talked about it later. We think it gives him a lot of options in terms of college choices and changing majors later on if he chooses, so maybe a good major for a still mostly undecided kid? Thoughts?
