Accepted into Baylor... Who else is going?

My S is accepted, and went to Invitation to Excellence in November, but did not receive a faculty scholarship. He is a NMS, and so eligible for full tuition and fees. He has also been accepted into the brand new residential college for computer science/engineering majors. We are just dithering over whether to make University of Tulsa his first choice for National Merit as they have a full ride Presidential scholarship (that his sister is on presently) that he has a chance of getting. He can’t decide which he likes better. But if he doesn’t get the Presidential at TU, his likely scholarship at Baylor goes way down to 17,000, and it doesn’t seem like there are any other big scholarships to fill in the gap there (having been turned down for a faculty scholarship). Any thoughts? Engineering is not big at Baylor, but it seems they are investing in it with the new facilities.
