[quote=Anonymous]I understand, OP.  Would have shared a lot of your thoughts  given his stats.

I don't know a lot about UC Boulder, but applying from out of state may be the reason he wasn't offered a CS placement.  At UT Austin, it will be *extremely* hard to get into their CS program from out of state.  It's already very very hard to get in for the in-state kids who get accepted under the top 6% rule (admits top 6% into UT Austin but major is not guaranteed).  I've seen many top top in-state students not be admitted into UT's CS department--it's a renowned CS department.

Rice is an excellent school and if it's his top choice among his remaining options, it's wise for him to let them know.  I've seen a few cases where that sort of communication has helped (but of course, ED is the best signal for that message).  Or he should communicate that to Purdue if it it's his top choice---can't hurt.

Something will work out---you have every right to express your concerns here and I'm sorry you've received mixed feedback. DCUM can be a tough audience. Your son is an oustanding student and sounds very passionate...in the end those are the qualities that will drive his success more than anything.  Hang in there. [/quote]
