[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is an interesting thread for me to read. My kids are middle school aged not high school so I am sure I have a lot to learn, but I went to high school in the northeast and many of the colleges named on this thread had a different reputation back in my day - part of that of course is that reputations change, but I do believe that part of that is that in this area some of the SLACs are not as well regarded as they are in the northeast. For example, you would never name F&M, Colgate, Bucknell and Tulane, on the one hand, with U of Miami, Northeastern or even Boston U, on the other. And Lehigh/Lafayette would be lumped with the first group, but no better than them. OP, there are a lot of SLACs in the northeast that could fit the bill for how you describe your son - Boston College, Fairfield, [b]Tufts,[/b] Holy Cross - he should check out UMass and Clark, too.

I don't think OP's kid could get into Tuft's based on the information given.  But I'm not on the admissions board so I wouldn't bet the farm.
