He was admitted at UCSD for bio and if he gets off the waitlist at UW, most likely will be for pre-bio. He does have a strong interest in bio as well as programming so he is mulling that over. Everywhere else, he has been admitted CS.
Seems to be leaning private but maybe because that’s just what he’s used to. Seems to want to leave California, but we will know more about that after the trip they are on now.
His dad and I are not excited about Mines socially. I am not excited about Colgate fit-wise. Dad is hesitant about one of my favorites, UCSC just because he associates it with his 30 years ago version. Dad and I favor SCU but would be a compromise campus-wise. S liked seeing WPI and isn’t sure about Uber urban Seattle u. He thought UCSD was large and my H complained about parking and traffic. S has some digging to do.
Price is not a major factor. He got great merit from Seattle U, U Mass, Vermont, and Gonzaga. He got decent merit from SCU, WPI, Mines. No merit at Boulder.
