Your DS or DD is now a NMF, decided on which school to attend and why?

DD16

OU Meteorology

Access to the National Weather Center, compatible harp teacher, study abroad options

Pay attention to “fees” At OU the fee are crazy and not covered by the tuition wavier

Huge for us but sadly the NM scholarship program has been cut significantly

DS20

UT Dallas Comp Sci

great Comp Sci program, supportive environment, great internship opportunities, modern buildings, no football

Apply early! It’s much easier to get in special programs like Clark summer research, Honors and CS2 Comp Sci honors if you apply early.

Huge! Their National Merit Scholarship covers 8 semesters which can also be used for grad school. DS has a ton of AP and DE classes and UTD has a “Fast Track” programs which double counts certain classes for grad and undergrad so he’s can (if he wants to) graduate with his BS and MS in comp sci and take a summer abroad, all cover by his scholarship.
