[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Colgate is much smaller and more rural than BC and Lehigh. I’d eliminate that one (since I would guess your son’s slight pref is medium sized and not in midd of nowhere, based on his two other too choices). Then I’d apply to BC ED1, and Lehigh ED2.

You didn’t ask this, but Franklin and Marshall would make a good back up- it is small like Colgate and similar vibe, v strong in finance/business placements, and there is a little more going on in Lancaster than a typical LAC setting. [/quote]

Colgate Lehigh and BC are all smallish schools with D1 sports and active Greek (or equivalent) life. It seems like OP’s kid actually wants bro culture [/quote]DP. 
Undergrad enrollment
Colgate 3130
Lehigh 7394
BC 9982

F&M 1990

BC and Lehigh are not small. My guess is that Colgate is on the small side of what OP wants, which is a medium-sized private. I agree with the PP, ED1 to BC and ED2 to Lehigh.[/quote]

Lehigh’s numbers above include grad students. Undergrad population recently grew from 4K to around 5k.
