My son was accepted to the Scripps Marine Science program in the UCSD Academic Connections (AC) for this summer. I also made him apply to the Research Scholars (RS) program since he qualified for it, not thinking he would get in but simply for application practice. Well, we found out today he was accepted into the RS to work with a very impressive PhD working on stem-cell nanotechnology, or something like it - way over my head. I realize it is an honor, but he would rather be in the general Marine Science program. Ugh. Do any of you have advice on this? There are other kids who would gladly take his place in the RS program, but I think it would help his college applications more than the general AC program. We live in a different state, so I'm not familiar with the program. He does want to attend a UC school, and since we are OOS, this may help his chances. He's my oldest so this is all new for us. Any thoughts?
