<p>Great input and reminder! Thank you all so much!</p>
<p>My son does have AP credits (AP US History and soon AP Government), not sure how many credits can be waived from the required 6 for each. Have to look into that.</p>
<p>My son does not know much about CMU’s campus and community except that his cousin went there and from talking to one CMU student (who worked for admission and called him - which was nice - benefit of a smaller school, I guess). He did spend a few days on UT campus (by invitation) last summer and liked it. Many of his good friends are going there. He likes to visit us from college and UT is in-state to us. We are leaning toward UT but still a bit worried if he would miss the good opportunity of going to CMU or Rice. </p>
<p>It’s decision time! Thank you all and Thanks to CC for proving a platform for info exchange, advices, and encouragement.</p>
