[quote=Anonymous] My kid would actually fit in very well at BC or ND, and has expressed interest in both of them(and DH went to one of these schools, so DS is familiar with both campuses).  We are sometimes-active Catholics, conservative-ish (with the liberal SJ bent that comes with Catholicism), and he is looking to major in economics or finance.  He'd like a school with sporty kids, but it doesn't have to be D1, and the lack of frats is appealing.

But, here's the thing, both schools would be a stretch for him, academically, and we couldn't afford either (only have 100k in 529, which would get us 1.5 years at either) one of them.

Where else should someone like my son look?  So far, as a junior, he has a 3.9 weighted / 3.6 unweighted. SAT = 1260 (going to take it again obviously) He is a one-sport varsity athlete, volunteers with a youth organization, and participates in a couple of clubs (sports-oriented clubs)He is a confirmed Catholic, but isn't really into it. He'd like to stay on the East coast.

Thoughts?
