Thanks! Budget as mentioned above is $40 to $50k max.
The UNCC progam looks good (correct, Motorsports not auomotive speciality). Charlotte seems a nice place to be, but I have no idea really. Only ever been to RTP in NC.
Yep, likely we have too many. Thats a combo of being scared of not getting in anywhere good in CA (UC or CSU) plus us being new to the college process and UC colleges altogether!
Appreciate the ecoCA link!
