@Houston1021 No unfortunately it didn’t work out. We spoke to Rice of course and everyone was very nice and understanding.
He did get into Georgia tech, Purdue, UT Dallas, Texas A&M, and Alabama (gave the most scholarships money - oos anyway). We were surprised that oos schools do not give much on merit. And if you do get a significant amount it still leaves a lot.

He was named a finalist for LSU stamps and presidential scholarships, both full cost of attendance. Waiting to to hear.

So looks like it will LSU or la tech, both honors college. One of the downsides of living in Louisiana, limited choices. He wasn’t interested in Tulane.

Goal is to have minimal or no student loan debt for undergraduate which will hopefully allow more choices for grad school.
