My son only applied to colleges known for engineering, and before he attended orientation he’d decided he was going to be a math major… He did have many AP credits and will likely dual major with engineering or CS, or possibly physics. Point of this story is it’s a big year, and he may change his mind multiple times between now and when he has to pick a college. Sounds like he’s definitely a STEM kid, so at least you know where to focus. I would recommend picking a college that has all of what you/he believe are likely majors for him, and not planning on more years and expense to get an undergrad degree.
