30. For him to have a supportive adviser is huge

My daughter went to Wellesley and because it's not a university, there are no graduate students. This meant that the research assistants are all undergrads. She had so many outstanding opportunities to do work that is traditionally done by grad students. When she graduated, she had the equivalent resume of someone with a Masters degree.

I hope your son is having opportunities for summer internships. That was very important.

Agree about the Ivys. They are super intense and not necessarily the right environment for every student.

Best of luck to your son.
