@ParentOf2022 It sounds like your son has a good head on his shoulders. Either way he cannot go wrong. Are you instate? We were very surprised my son didnt get any merit for instate. He did get a free computer from Chapel Hill. Second year is when he got grants and works for housing so he got free room. My son did not get invited for honors either. He was #3 in his highschool so we thought he would qualify. The classes are very rigorous and struggled 1st year so we are glad now that he wasn’t offered it. He is also getting a dual computer science with a math degree and only has 2 math classes left. Such an exciting time for your family. He will make the right choice for him.
