If finances are not critical I’d give him the away experience. It will likely lead to much personal growth. But he may have the best chance to get into CS in SJSU. Except for the sure bets if you want to pay that much, those are all good choices. UW would be the best choice to me if he was in CS as that’s a great program and a fun area to go to college. But another poster here mentions only 1 in 3 are likely to get in. But take a look at the UW CS pages at the related majors and see if any of those interest him should he not get into the CS or CSE.

Tough situation on the UCs. I don’t know if there is a way to express interest in UCSC for coming off the waittlist. I’d think they would be interested in him. Probably UCSD has more kids on the waitlist with stronger UC gpa.
