<p>Our son committed to UAB last night and is taking advantage of their generous NMF scholarship. He also won the $2500 scholarship directly from the National Merit folks so the first year is almost completely covered.</p>
<p>He was accepted to MIT, Ga Tech, UVA, VCU, Drexel and Duke. He turned down a full ride merit scholarship to VCU and a generous merit scholaship to Drexel. </p>
<p>His dad and I aren’t convinced he made his choice for rational reasons - girlfriend is attending UAB in the same major and pre-med program but he’s made a choice. We’ll have to see how this all works out. At least we’re not going broke while it all plays out.</p>
