@Faline2 Thank you for all of that insight. I’m so glad to hear that there is no condescending attitude toward Blair students. It’s funny how one person’s post on a CC forum can make you question everything, isn’t it? I’m also glad to hear that your son had such a great experience - hopefully mine will be equally positive.
Question for both of you: was freshman year incredibly challenging for your sons? Were their GPAs difficult to keep up? I know college is nothing like high school but I really need to keep a ‘good’ GPA when I graduate so that my grad schools won’t completely disregard me.
@Zen2015 I agree that the composition program is truly top notch, and I’m just honored to have been accepted. Supposedly a 6% admit rate for composition if you can believe it. A true honor. How has your son found double majoring? I know Blair is a rather intense program, and if I were to combine that with, say, biological sciences, I’d probably be pretty stressed and swamped wouldn’t I? Apparently there are Blair students who have done this and found it very challenging, but rewarding, but I’d be just thrilled to know how your son has done with composition specifically in combination with an economics major, which is also notoriously difficult.
