My son is a junior in a public school in southern California. He is passionate for both science and dance (music too if he had the time). Academically he has about 4.3 GPA (strong science/math), 99 percentile in SAT and PSAT (qualifying for NMS according to 2017 stats), and taking/passing many AP’s. In dance he’s got many scholarships including full ride to ballet summer programs. He is also very involved in helping the community with music, running a nonprofit org, providing funding for music therapy research as well as performing at senior homes. USC offers the best opportunities for double major in Kaufman dance and science. Dance is super competitive and he can’t get in if not choosing it as his 1st choice of major, but he is probably not the best among the dance major applicants. Can someone recommend which major he should apply in terms of opportunity for getting the Trustee scholarship? Thanks!
