@EarlVanDorn I have students at both schools- one studying Engineering at Alabama and one at UGA. Both are fantastic schools, but I would not pay the difference to attend UGA. When my son graduated HS, we were living out of state so the GA schools were not an option for him. We are in-state for UGA (although my DD was admitted OOS as we moved to GA for senior year). She had an ACT of 33 and was a NMF and we did not get any scholarship offers from UGA (she does have Hope and Zell though). It was hard to turn down the significant money from UA, but UGA was her dream school so we let her do it.

I agree with @miningengineer and would look at Terry for grad school. Of course, with all of those credits, you will have a lot of tuition paid for Grad school at Bama too! We didn’t visit Chicago, but one of my daughters best friends is playing basketball there this year and loves it. But it would be hard to turn down full-tuition to go there! Best of luck to y’all. If you decide on Bama, please join our UA parents FB page. We have over 3300 members now and it is a wealth of information!
