Totally agree that CTCL has a lot of great options. Among the best might be Beloit, which is easy to get to (an hour from O'Hare airport), beautiful, diverse, nurturing, and had the best interaction between artsy students and athletes of any school we toured.  It's not hard to get into compared to other colleges of that quality, and it has lots of smart students who did poorly in high school.  Quite a few of them end up getting PhDs![/quote]

Beloit would be good for OP's son, but would be a reach with his GPA. It admits 56% of applicants; Eckert admits 67% and OP said her son was WL there. [/quote]

Agreed.  Beloit is a fabulous and under-appreciated college (that has received national recognition for how well it’s handling COVID) and sounds like OP’s DC may thrive there.  However, plenty of Beloit students have very strong GPAs and test scores.  Beloit offers amazing merit aid to those students.  My DS was one of them - accepted at several NESCACs but went to Beloit because he liked it best and we liked the merit aid.  OP, the winters are long at Beloit so I don’t know if that would be an issue, but the professors are wonderful, really care, get to know the students individually and develop lifelong relationships with their students. Even if it’s a reach, I think your DC should consider it.[/quote]
