S has been offered an almost full ride at the University of Oklahoma in their National Merit Scholar program. There are about 250+ kids in this each year and they are offered special housing, classes, and guidance. Right now he’s premed but that could change. Graduate school definitely in his future. Other best option is University of Virginia, but we are out-of state. We can pay for that but then there won’t be much left to help with med school or graduate school costs. S is outdoorsy Eagle Scout. He won’t go greek and wants a campus where there is theater, etc… Waitlisted at Rice and UT Plan II (his first choice). If you know about reputation and/or acceptance rates into humanities-type graduate programs from either school that would be really helpful. Also wonder how integrated NM kids are at OU.
