Thanks, all. We know the others are probably “safety” level for him, but he’s pretty happy with all of them, so I figure it’s ok that we don’t have any at the real “match” level. We’re visiting Drexel and NJIT this weekend. In terms of merit money, he’s also a NM semi-finalist which is one reason we’re visiting those two schools. Drexel seems like a better fit on paper though, since S is interested in game design, and that’s a strength there.

But if anyone has any particular suggestions of match level schools he should check out, he’d be open to that. He’d like to stay in the northeast, though that is not an absolute requirement. One thing he’d like is a school with minimal commitment to a particular major/college/school at application time and freshman year. So many of the tech schools/programs expect the kids to jump right in, and while his top interest right now is game design, he also really enjoys biology and chemistry, and has expressed interest in things like materials design or drug development as well (but looks like design, making something, is a common theme for him).

Thanks!
