Was also accepted at University of Colorado, Boulder and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Son has been talking about going to Boulder for years. Actually sent money & accepted that offer a few weeks ago because of the PSU deferral on 12/22. Not sure what he’ll want to do now that he got into PSU. We’ll have to weigh all the pros/cons over the next few days for sure and make a final decision.
