I agree with the above. Vanderbilt sends PLENTY of people all around the country. To think of it as restrictive to his chances of employment or graduate study at the top institutions of the Northeast is ludicrous. But, were I in your shoes, I’d take Rutgers - STEM majors don’t need brand name diplomas like an econ or humanities major might in order to get into top grad schools. STEM students need marketable skills and ideally less debt, and so full ride at a state school of Rutgers caliber is a wonderful option. Also, assuming he had the ability to get into Vanderbilt and CMU, he no doubt got into the Rutgers honors college, yes? In which case he’ll have a wonderful four years.
