Congratulations!  My son also was accepted Monday to the school of engineering.  He’s grown up a longhorn and we all shed a tear of joy.  He’s visited several colleges and has been offered a lot of money at other colleges so the decision isn’t so easy.    He did a 2nd visit to Bama, which is offering full tuition, 1st year housing and a $3,500 a year stipend.  I went on the 2nd trip because I was low on Bama but I was really impressed.  It’s a beautiful, clean place with amazing staff.    LSU is offering a lot of money too, my wife went there and I’ve been a lot.  I went to the admitted student day a couple weeks ago with him to hear their plug.  It’s an amazing campus with a lot of tradition.    We are waiting on Florida State, which we think may also be offering a lot of money.  He had FSU as his #1 after his visit this last fall.  I don’t think he was getting his hopes up he’d get into UT but now that he did I think he’s really in turmoil.  It’s going to be a really hard choice.  So much to consider, it’s really hard for me to choose too, even as much as a diehard longhorn I am.  I think his heart is at Texas.  Can’t wait to learn where he decides!
