<p>You will know in two weeks if he gets accepted at UM - my guess is he will. If not, you have plenty of time to apply to other schools.</p>
<p>It seems that Texas A&M University-Galveston would be a great fit for him. They have his major and it is instate. </p>
<p>However, I know that many of kids would rather get out of state if their parents can afford it or if they get Scholarships/Aid.</p>
<p>One of the top Engineering schools, University of Michigan, is instate for us and my son would much rather go to University of Texas! It seems half his HS goes to Michigan each year and he would rather do something different. Of course on my dime.</p>
