I'd also like to know what the OP considers to be "solid enough grades". Things have changed since you and I went to college and admissions are not what they once were.

You stated that the student is at the beginning of the college search, but then he applying to SUNYs? What grade is he in? You will receive very different answers depending on the grade.

Given location, they should start by visiting a variety of schools, just so the kid can see, physically, the different options. U-Mass at Ahmerst, U New Hampshire, UVM, I would look at SUNY-Buffalo as a flagship, and maybe Penn State, Rtugers, U-Del.

SUNY Binghamton is a good school.

Another vote for Arizona. Best part: predefined merit aid based on GPA and SAT. Just pull up the table and see where you are. We used it as a financial safety because our daughter didn’t want to go UMD. Just found out this weekend that the table didn’t lie. Guess we’re flying to Tucson.
