re: Did you select your college or did your parents?

She will likely regret going to UNT over a boy. Tell her its a financial decision and since she applied too late for scholarships to UNT, she should defer her acceptance to Oklahoma (which maintains her scholarship offer), take a gap year and work to save money for UNT. In that year, boyfriend will likely be gone or you at least have a year to talk her into Oklahoma.

We would love our two oldest to get into aTm, but they are in The Woodlands HS and to hit that top 8-10% is very tough in such a large high performing group (close to 4K students).

But, they are on track for Eagle Scout and grades will be pretty good. Blin and transfer would still be a win.
