She will be going for STEM related.

Obviously she's changed her mind a few times, Chemical Engineering was what she was leaning towards but she's settled on a Math major and English minor. She's a great writer, taking Latin for her language.

There is no shortage of jobs for people with math skills who can write / communicate.

UT was and is her first choice followed very closely by Tulaine. We looked at Rice and she did not dig the vibe.

We would prefer Tulaine due to size, ~8k enrollment, but not the price.

One of the other primary things for her is a representative Jewish population which all three so far have. Tulaine has a huge Jewish population, they call it Jewlaine.

One thing we liked about Alabama was the way their curriculum is structured and that her HS courses have been almost all AP her applied credits means she could easily walk out of there with a Grad degree in 5 years.

We had not even considered Alabama till my wife was speaking with her sister who is considering Alabama for her son who is a year younger than my daughter. That's why when we got the invitation we said what the hell, doesn't hurt to look.

Jokingly I said, hey, if they go to school together and fall in love they could get legally married in Alabama.

That one did not go over so well. First time I've seen my SIL speechless.
