<p>Okay - well, I think he has plenty of time to learn the skills needed to be at college - which is different from taking some college courses. Mine is a HS senior, taking a full load of college courses right now. I don’t contact his professors at all and get very little info on grades, so he is having to learn to deal with things.
He should keep in mind that he may have to retake some courses, and would , presumably, start at Mudd as a frosh. So ,he might want to focus on classes that are a bit outside the core requirements.</p>
