You should think about the University of Tulsa. As President there, I can say this year’s class is 25% National Merit. That’s almost certainly the highest density of National Merit in the nation. We have great STEM programs. Our endowment is $1.5 billion, so you’ll find lots of resources, research opportunities and the like.
It is also a very beautiful campus. I’d put the campus up against any other I’ve visited in the nation.
So come check it out. Drop me a note here and I’ll give you a personal tour. For the right student, it’s an amazing place.
