Advice for high school seniors when choosing which school to attend: Look into graduation requirements at the schools you're looking at, and look at opportunities to incorporate elective coursework into your curriculum. Especially in professional settings, there's often times where the knowledge you get from a specific course that's tangential to your major's specialization can prove very useful, so definitely be open-minded to tailoring your upper level coursework.
