Reply to "Academic Showcase insights"

Because of all your smart advice, we'd decided to register for Headfirst West 4 in Woodland this September. And Showball in Albany NY in Aug. And next summer, hit a couple more. I didn't know about NorCal World Series, that looks great too. Thanks for that lead. I'm not a baseball guy (I rowed in College and never played baseball.) 

JCG, I know it's nuts to be thinking about a field of interest at this age, but we've heard from admissions people that they aren't as interested in generalist. To build a "well rounded" freshman class, they look for students to be really good at, and interested in, one narrow area. My son has a sincere interest in business. But academia prefers the word "economics." Who knows if he'll stay interested in that field after graduation. And that's ok, I think.
