<p>Wow, thanks everyone! I am making notes about all the schools you mentioned and will be researching and probably adding most of them to his Common App. I feel like I’m just going to have to spend more than I’d like to on sending out a bunch of applications, because getting a few offers that we can actually afford is really important. We won’t have time to visit all these schools right away, but we certainly could visit a few before the final decision in the spring, in order to help him make his choice.</p>

<p>What is UT by the way? Is that U of Texas Austin? Or Utah? And yes, we toured the “Fulbright Wall” at Barrett ASU. I personally really like Barrett ASU for him (and there is a good chance he will end up there), so I feel really lucky that we have such a good “safety” school close and convenient to us, and probably affordable too.</p>
<p>The guidance counselor emailed me back and said that we do have time (just barely) to still apply at Georgia Tech by tomorrow 10/15, so we are working on that now. I think he was just irritated that I was notifying him only a few days before the deadline. A tech school of course would be a good match for Chris with his interest in Computer Science. But as with the others, everything depends on the finances.</p>

<p>No, I don’t have too much trouble getting him to write the essays! And my mom is an English major and works as an editor, so she helps him with them too which is nice. :)</p>
