@EarlVanDorn

Firstly, congratulations to your son. A full scholarship with study abroad paid for is something that is a huge bonus. It’s very commendable that your son got into Terry, but I don’t think its worth it without your family being able to bring the costs down to ~18K ish without loans (bearing in mind most of his classmates will be paying minimal tuition and expenses). Accounting is a great major, but even our other schools in GA (like GSU) are known to have strong accounting programs.

50-60 DE credits changes the game slightly. That means (like you said) he can start taking Business courses right away (and hopefully he knocked out all the cores). Still, UGA OOS tuition is pricey. Is he considering graduate school? There are some great ways of attending MBA programs and such for free (at schools like UGA even), and getting the Terry name on his resume somehow.

Please keep us updated. Your sons stats are very impressive and his choices are all good. So it’ll be interesting to see how all works out.

Congrats to you and your son once again.
