What is his preference at this point in the process?
Maryland sounds like the no-brainer because of the money saved and the great engineering program.
But if he wants to go somewhere outside of his home state...
He really loved Hopkins initially, but both Maryland and Harvard have come on strong. We visited the financial aid folks at Hopkins yesterday, and they very much had a “take it or leave it” attitude about the financial package offered. He's not getting warm and fuzzies. Hopkins, right now, is pretty much on life-support.
I think he'd be happy at any of the three. We're visiting Harvard next Friday. I want him to get at least a very little bit of a sense of the place before making a final pick.
