@Mesipass Well you know how hard it is to get a Dad to brag about his son. :-c His best SAT was a 2320, 2340 super-scored. He had a 3.85 GPA from the second ranked high school in the U.S. He was a National AP Scholar (Passed at least 9 AP classes with a 3 or better and an average of at least 4) as a sophomore (one of 30 in the world). Overall, he passed 15 AP classes, with mostly 5s. He was a National Merit Finalist. In high school he took two post AP calculus classes (Category Theory and Vector Calculus) and a post AP Chemistry class.
Where do you live? Will the Texas schools be in-state or out-of-state for you? You really can’t go wrong at either school. If the prices are roughly equal, it should come down to where you feel most at home. The vibes are quite different, but both have die-hard fans. Out of Purdue, Michigan, and Georgia Tech, we liked Purdue best, but it would have cost us $22,000 per year more. Michigan and Purdue were $30,000 more. After this last winter in the Midwest, he’s pretty happy to have stayed in the sunbelt. (We are in Arizona.)
You Koreans love to set the curve! A Korean-born kid one-year behind my son in high school got a perfect score on the Calculus BC exam - in 9th grade! But we have a lot of first and second generation Indian kids also pushing the curve. I told my son "It’s a big world. If you want to compete better start now!. One of his AP credits was for Mandarin. (Very tough exam!)
Good luck to you wherever you end up!
