I know you asked about ED ideas, but the best advice I’ve received about this whole process was to take a balanced approach to identifying schools and building a list.

Specifically, do not put potential ED schools on your kid’s radar without also putting potential targets and safeties on there, too.

The message is that he can be happy at many schools. Build a balanced list, and then watch as his favorite rises to the surface the summer before senior year or early in the fall. That school will be his ED school.

This.  Help your son build a balanced list.  If a clear favorite rises to the top, try for ED.  If not, EA or RD for all.  Your son sounds like my daughter, smart but not a star.  Unfortunately there's a lot of kids like that out there.  Help him find schools where he would be happy rather than focusing on simply the schools with a less than 10% Admission rate.  [/quote]

+100. My kid was in the same position. Smart but not a star. Applied to schools offering similar programs/location-types but with different selectivity levels within  T-10 to T-100. No clear favorites and  had some good choices from EA and RD. [/quote]
