<p>I would definitely visit Ohio. We (whole family) liked the place a lot. My son will start in the Honors Tutorial College in September. One nice thing about OU is that they have rolling admission (and for-certain merit scholarships - assuming you qualify), so you can be admitted as early as November or so. For the HTC, you'll have to wait longer - if you make it to the interviews in January, they'll let you know by early February. That's still early enough that if you don't get into HTC, you have plenty of time to decide about all of your choices.</p>
