[quote=Anonymous]Go west, OP. Colorado School of Mines -- great engineering school, fairly small, would be a "reach" but is in the realm of doable. I know two engineering students who went there, both loved it and did well. Embry-Riddle -- if he likes airplanes, definitely in range. Oregon Institute of Technology -- would be a safety and actually sounds like a really good fit, emphasis on hands-on and applied learning, 98% of people get jobs right out of school. New Mexico Institute of Technology -- again, maybe a reach, but another terrific school. None of these except Embry-Riddle are huge, at all. I'd recommend keeping his science and tech grades as high as you can, and making sure he gets extra help in math classes if he struggles in them. But, again... go west. A lot of good options for someone like your son. [/quote]
