Although I'm a new kid on the block as far as posting here, I have been reading on and off for a few years. My son got his acceptance yesterday for his "dream" school, as well as an offer for a generous merit scholarship. All is good, you think? The school accepted him into a very specific Arts and Humanity major, not the Computer Science major he had applied for. The letter acknowledged that the major was not his first choice, but that his application showed his talents and abilities would allow him to be successful in that major.
I'm not sure how he should proceed. I would like to know what the school was thinking, and which talents and abilities they think would make him successful in this particular major as opposed to just randomly making him a History major or a Philosophy major, or what used to be back in my day, a general studies major.
Any suggestions on how to proceed?
(And, yes, I'm being vague about the major intentionally)
