@miningengineer Thank you for your kind words. My son is certainly considering Ole Miss. The campus is full of children of people I know. Willie Morris once said that “Mississippi is not so much a state but rather a club,” and certainly there are advantages of staying put, not the least of which is the fact that I figure he has a shot at a full ride, but also the fact that this is our home state.

The Alabama scholarship is also pretty sweet, even though it only covers tuition. It has the advantage of rolling over into grad school.

So in light of those, I agree that Georgia with a 50 percent OOS waiver isn’t a good choice. But it’s probably my son’s top pick right now, if money wasn’t an issue. But I’m sure he will do well wherever he lands.
