You may also want to talk about LACs with broader distribution requirements. My kid (and I) liked the idea of a “forced exploration”, albeit broad and personalized, before picking a major and the idea of introductory courses that were meant to draw students into the major. Some kids hate this idea, but for one who is undecided, it’s a great opportunity.

It can help to know that’s an option – that finding a track right outside of the gate isn’t necessary. It’s really amazing how many students at schools with this arrangement end up doing sometimes different from what they’d originally imagined. At the same time, there are kids who think this sounds dreadful. But it’s all part of the discovery!
