agreed, especially if it's a very prolonged cease fire, like a couple decades

Taking him to Ann Arbor and West Lafayette in a few weeks for campus tours. He's already been to UC-Berkeley.

I think the fact that he's never experienced a Midwest winter [and doesn't want to] makes it his top pick as well...

I mean, on top of the fact that it's a stellar engineering school, of course.

Georgia Tech is a pretty good engineering school with milder winters.   But then he'd be a nerd.

The state used to hand out National Merit Scholarships, I don't know if Tech does any more.  They look good on a resume though it's not much money.

My National Merit Scholarship paid for most of my school.  Then a couple of other scholarships from the school of engineering and the local Austin UT alumni chapter paid for the rest.

Wisconsin was $2,200/year when I was there. Most of it was paid for by others.

Yep. He's already a nerd. 

We're thinking he might apply to GT and that be one of those that we only go visit if his higher priority schools don't accept him. 

He's a bit limited with his intent to be a nuclear engineer, and BSNE programs are not offered at a good number of highly-rated engineering schools as it's a more niche specialty.
