@itbgirl We actually plan on visiting UNC charlotte, he hasnt written it off yet 
He is waiting on the questbridge app to open so he can apply.
@genevieve18 Thank you for all these suggestions!
We changed the date of the NC State tour when we found an earlier opening in july. After the NC State tour, my son actually had a change of heart, he likes it. The only reason Rice has not been on his radar is because it is sooo far. (We are in central NC)
