Why is undergraduate research so important?

@aeromom funny you bring this up now, the CBH admissions essay is basically asking the same question. Our son’s response was he just loves to discover new things. He was so disappointed in High School, he had visions of doing something amazing, and even in AP courses, it was just another class. He basically did his own research project on the side. He is only 17, and has no idea what he wants to do, so research sounds interesting as a future, but I don’t think this factors into his desire to do research right now. I think some kids are just wired that way. Hopefully he will have CBH as an option, fingers crossed!
