You shouldn’t rank your sons like that. Bad parenting

There’s really no need to break them out by kid, right? Other than for organization?

Alabama is a great example. I read they have more out-of-state than in-state students…

They’ve been offering full rides to kids with good PSAT scores for 20 years.

Yup 32 ACT gets you full tuition. And if you visit they will often add room and board

Yes, but you have to work in public service for 10 years and likely make no money*

A lot of them make solid salaries and a lot of times 40 hour a week jobs

-
Nobster
January 15, 2024, 14:56:33
what does he want to do after school? doing research as an undergrad i think will help immensely

He’s not sure…maybe he’ll find a coop or straight to masters. How are you, T?*

I’d suggest asking at the departmental office. They would know more than his advisor.

I think a baseline SAT/ACT run in 10th grade is not a bad idea.

Yeah, he's definitely interested in majoring in STEM - interested in both bio and phys sci.
