UT Bound? Time will tell!

Well not long ago I posted Marc's college status and having his mind set on staying as close to home as possible. I was beginning to wonder if he was really mine! Hahaha. He was very interested in attending UTSA or Texas State. You know his mind was set to being able to come home whenever he felt like it for home-cooked meals and more. Ricardo and I have been throwing out the idea of looking at other schools, UT being one that was mentioned frequently. Marc has mentioned that he's strongly thinking about a business degree. UT has one of the top 10 business programs in the nation. So yeah of course we were pushing UT. The tuition is not too bad AND we would get in-state price and it's fairly close to home. Ok maybe a little too close if you ask me! Hahaha. After all when I think of going away to college I mean farther away than 45 minutes-1hour, which is how far UT is.  Well I have a cousin who is a junior there and Marc made arrangements one weekend to hang out with him. Ever since that visit Marc has been dead set on attending UT and is determined to get in there somehow, someway. I just knew it! I knew that once he was given a real feel of what college is about, of what Austin is really like, etc. that Marc would really want to go there. I think I do know my child just a little and really felt that UT would be a good fit for him. If not UT, then the surrounding Austin colleges such as St Edwards and Huston-Tillotson. Since the visit there he has gotten very serious about the whole college thing such as what he needs to make on his SAT's to get in, financial aid and more.  Can you say we are happy that UT is now in the running for possible colleges? Oh YES! Hook Em Horns! Now, if he choses somewhere other than UT I will be content. I heard in someones speech back when Marc was in the 2nd grade that the question should not be are you going to college, but where are you going? That being said we are in the stages now of SAT prep, financial aid, scholarships, etc. It's an exciting time right now, yet so hard to believe that 18 yrs has flown by right before my eyes!
