thanks all. wise words…
I know this rowing thing is an issue…and I DO know he needs to pick a school where he will be able to graduate and get a job…as you say, twoinanddone, academically he doesn’t even belong at an MIT GaTech, so finding a school that has the option of rowing, but is right academically is the goal. RIT sounds very interesting, although a long way from Texas…he is game though.
Also am looking at Kansas and Kansas State…both have crew, and engineering and are not top end academically. University of Wisconsin is in there too.
I would like to put together a list too, of appropriate engineering schools without the rowing factor weighing them.
At this point, and being in Texas so geographic bias…U Arkansas, Oklahoma State and University, Texas Tech are what I am looking at…need to expand that.
I will jump on the Engineering forum and learn more there. Lots of great options…
