<p>Well, I’m hoping that if he were to go to Mudd, they have a placement policy that allows kids to place into higher level classes if they’ve completed lower level ones. I imagine that Mudd classes are very deep and challenging so I would think it would be fine. OTOH, he is auditing a senior level physics course at the local state univ. It’s reputed as the hardest u/g class. The textbook they use is the same one as a junior level class at Princeton that my son sat in on recently. So, if he were to major in physics, it is theoretically possible he could run out of classes. OTOH again (ha-ha), he hasn’t had quantum, nuclear, and a few other types of physics classes, so I’m sure it would work out.</p>
<p>At any rate, these would be good questions to ask the departments at Mudd. He’ll hopefully be visiting in the summer or doing the Fall FAST in September which includes a stay overnight, so hopefully, he’ll get a sense for what Mudd’s policies are, how challenging it is, and if it sounds like a good fit.</p>
