Thank you all for these additional ideas. I should clarify the desire for rural. He’s loves the outdoors and dislikes the hustle and bustle of a busy city, so that’s why I think he wants to be in a rural area. Having said that, he hasn’t visited anywhere yet, so I want him to consider alternatives as well.
Didn’t even consider Humboldt; I will look into that, as well as others mentioned. Thank you!
@ucbalumnus, thank you for the additional info regarding the ratio of commuter versus noncommuters. It probably means it will be quieter on campus, which I think will suit DS well.
I do have a question on those automerit charts, in particular UAH and UA. Until recently I didn’t think he would be able to qualify for the Presidential Elite because of the GPA cutoffs, but I realized that they are using weighted GPA. What would one do if the school doesn’t weight grades? Is there anything that can be done to qualify since DS would have over a 4 weighted?
Lastly, any input on UTD? I think he would qualify for AES. Thank you.
