Congratulations to you!

I’d recommend Maryland, can’t beat a free ride plus
lots and lots of large programs to get involved in on campus plus lots of intern opportunities in govt and private contractors around the Beltway

FWIW, CIA and DIA would love to have kids like this and would pay for his Master’s+ and he would have a great time and really be serving our future

Otherwise save YOUR money and the Ivy Leagues for his master’s degree and PhD, which is where they really matter to employers

Dear silverleaf,

Thanks!

Yes, Maryland appears to do a great job of integrating academic stuff with making contacts in business in government, at least in the school of engineering. He's in the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Living/Learning Community, which directly connects to a lot of academic/industry joint project-type stuff. Maryland has a great five-year bachelors/masters program, and we spoke to them about it. They indicate that most folks accepted to it wind up getting the fifth year paid-for through research work in the department.
