We certainly don't want to "push" our son into college. He has already shown some interest in taking some online courses at the University in our city. We have applied to Davidson and are hoping to hear good news next month. One concern I have is to have him finish formal high school studies and have little or no academic work going on for the next 7 years or so and then trying to apply for these programs. Does that make sense? Anyway, I'm thankful for the responses and discussion.
