the Summer program..is this a reasonable assessment? or plan for our son? Engineering major. Currently has a 98% in HS AP Calc, so math is his strong suit. Has done the same in science. English/writing is his weakest subject. Is the math going to be that much harder in college that he should consider taking that by itself or should he focus on English Comp for the STP? I'm guessing that his writing skills will be part of his grades in ALL his classes so that may be the best choice. I just remember losing points on papers in history class because errors in grammar. I'm guessing that getting the hardest class out of the way is the right answer, especially when writing is probably the one thing that will affect his grades in most of his classes. Also one more to add in the mix. DS is telling me that even if he tests out of Calc I that he wants to take it again in college. He isn't sure if he will have absorbed enough in HS to give him the foundation for college level, and 2..if it did..it only helps his Rat year or possibly Rook year be a little easier and will boost his GPA. Will they allow that at VMI or possibly Norwich? Thanks
