Thanks for the advice everyone! I should have mentioned… my husband and I are both VT alum (undergrad and grad), but we live in Blacksburg. He’d rather not be so close to home!

My sons started out the same way but have realized that being far away isn’t as glamorous as they thought. It’s nice to have a support system close by if needed. My parents were less than an hour away for undergrad. I saw them at holidays and a few times if I was sick or needed a home cooked meal but not often.

Pitt, Ohio State, and Case Western would be obvious choices for pre med. Pitt has a guaranteed med school admission program. He would probably be eligible for some top scholarships.
