re: Maryland. My half-baked theory is that ok, Aerospace is a limited and sought-after major. So offer Honors so he keeps them on the radar, but give the engineering slot to someone who might not come if they don't get into the engineering school (i.e. OOS student). If he's serious about Maryland and not just using them as a safety (some variant of Tufts Syndrome), no problem switching later.
