[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Other state's flagships & assorted SLAC like Dennison, one of the many MANY that in PA (lower tier ones probably giving massive merit), etc.

More info needed for actual, relevant recommendation as your student's stats are higher than the vast majority of college-attending kids so that are many options[/quote]

He is a sporty, super social nice kid, lots of friends, If it didn't cost 90K, I think a school like Villanova would probably be a great fit. He would love school spirit but is unlikely to be into the Greek scene. Re: academics, I didn't mention it because he keeps changing his mind. He doesn't have strong likes and dislikes. He is more of a well-rounded kid in an era where they're supposed to be spiky.[/quote]

Ok, climate? Is this kid going to be OK with grey, freezing winters or does being in short sleeves year round a requirement?
Does he want to be around grinders or more laid back kids?
Size? 30K too big? 2k too small?
Demographics? Is diversity important?
City, suburban or rural? Will they have a car? Is it important to have a campus where a car is not needed? 
Are co-ops or special programs important?

If the kid literal has no direction on climate, required activities, size of school, general area of the country, demographics, size, rural or not, etc. then people are just going to shout out names of schools their kids applied to. So, I guess just tally those up?

But I'd suggest you have your kid visit some schools & do some reflection on what makes him happy & what environment he needs to thrive. I've got well-rounded kids. They have opinions, even if it's they want a club ultimate team and good dining hall food.[/quote]
