What i'm trying to understand is if any of the schools he was admitted to give a decided advantage on internships and job opportunities after. Thus far the read i get is 'not really unless its Stanford, MIT or GT'. And at that point are we just shopping price and location?

For the most part you’re right, but I don’t think price and location are the primary factors you should consider. While important, the fit of the school and campus to your son’s personality and expectations are paramount. All of the schools mentioned are good and well respected and will put him on a good path to start. But some will make his experience better than others, and that’s where you want to send him. Saving a few thousand per year seems smart unless he ends up spending five years at the cheap school and could have finished in four at the “expensive” one. The schools you’re discussing run the gamut, so let him pick and chose between them to find something that fits him. The better the fit the better he’ll do and the easier his time on campus will be.
