RG I'm hoping my daughter continues to do her formal education in music in college as well, at least a music minor along with sciences. It's tough to find the right institution that offers that at a reasonable cost. Good colleges public and private that combine both have to be narrowed down.,Public colleges that combine both are very few on my basic research so far . Private ones are stinking expensive. I've to get started on more informative research but I'm too lazy to do that hoping my daughter will figure it out herself. Let's see otherwise her piano will be just another furniture at home... . In her quest for Sciences and cognitive psychology , I'm praying that she gets opportunities to fit in some time for her music.

Agree, all the investments made with respect to time & money on music do not go waste. I suggested to my son he can look into taking music as a minor but definitely not a major. Or look for universities where he can continue performing. But I am not planning to do the research. I am hoping he will figure it out himself.

Ask away I still remember most of my research. I can share whatever I know happily. My teen said I should start a counselor gig on the side, because I paid for a couple of them and I ended up knowing more than them so I paid and cut them off

Ask away I will answer or research and get the answer for u

Where does he want to go.

Thanks for your offer Nisha! My teen does not know yet what he wants to do really. He has eliminated medicine and liberal arts for now. Looks like he would know more beginning of his senior year.

I speculate that in the next 10 years top colleges will prefer NON STEM Asian kids. There are too many First Robotics, Science Bowl-ey Olympiad-ey Desi and Asian kids everywhere.

When they take their SAT ACT in March of 11th grade year/Junior year is when they need to seriously start making a list

Make three lists

Safety

Matches

Reaches

They are what the name says, if he is a Natl Merit Finalist or Semi Finalist there are many colleges that offer full rides for those kids

In state universities are the cheapest usually

Followed by Out of state

Ivies dont offer any scholarships except need based

If your kid is a Biology Olympiad Math Olympiad winner etc then they will be grabbed up.

The problem is Desis that live in New Jersey, NY, CA, Texas and Georgia and Florida are in a tough spot. They are all in the top 1% of their class they all have perfect SATs and ACTs and then they have to compete with Asian kids

Move to North Dakota or Idaho or Wymoning

No... seriously

Your geographical location helps. There are 3 million? Desis in CA, and 10M? Asians. Montana has 1000, Idaho has 2000

Top colleges dont want to fill their class with Asian or Indian kids from CA or NY

They already know such kids are doing 20 extra curriculars

Another tip: Ask your child to pursue any unique hobbies like bee keeping, kayaking, snow boarding etc. Desi kids only play tennis and piano

I am told top colleges hate it. Unless the kid has won Junior Wimbledon or played at Carnegie Hall, they just dont care.

Wow thank u Nisha ! I heard Asian/Indian make is the toughest spot to be in. Yep being in NJ/Ny doesn't help. On top of it, the school district is full of Orientals and desi !

My daughter is a Jr. my head spins looking at this.

Yes Jas, look for UNIQUE thats the word. My husband's bestie lives in Bridgewater his daughter is your stereotype, he drove her to Columbia Univ EVERY Saturday, 80 miles? 100 miles? one way...
