<p>mom2 - junior son is looking at engineering right now. He has always got similar scores in his national tests like his brothers (couldn’t tell his Plan, state test scores apart) but for some reason is english/writing on his PSAT were lower than expected. My other 2 boys did much better on their ACT than SATS (35 and 36 without prep) and I am hoping S3 follows, although I will make sure he practices through Jan-April, and then schedule him to take the June ACT too. S2 loves UA and my hope is maybe S3 will get the scores to go. We only pay a specified amount for college and will take out loans above that amount with the understanding that they will pay us back. S3 might have a little larger specified amount though if we can afford more. By the time he goes to school, we will only have one other in college. We plan to look at a few WI state schools that offer engineering and are affordable, and plan to look OOS too for options. He is an A student in an engineering public school and is in the top 10% of his class, with difficult courses so I think (hope) he will be okay. Being NMF just makes everything so much easier!</p>
