yes, some of us did. we didn’t have honors anything in my day, but there were different academic tracks. For the college bound there was academic/scientific and there was academic/cultural. i completed the requirements for both tracks. i had advanced chem and physics senior year as well as taking Spanish 4 and German 2. i probably could have made it through engineering school at Pitt, but i was never interested in that. once i figured out after freshman year that i wasn’t likely to get into med school i wanted out of the math/sci altogether. my niece is graduating HS this year and is going to engineering school at the U of Akron. she is interested in dental school, but there is no official pre-dent program, so she will do engineering and have that as an option after 4 years. if she doesn’t like it and is not put off by more school, she can apply to dental school. i thought that was a pretty good plan.

Well, who couldn't? LOL

Don't most med/dent-types take biology or something more useful?
