[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, obviously your son has picked out some great reach / target schools. I’m curious - with a list like yours, what are his safeties? Would he attend a safety or try a gap year? [/quote]

He would LOVE a gap year (and that's actually not off the table - but I would prefer he get accepted somewhere and defer.) His safeties are some combo of the following:

Providence
Holy Cross (maybe more of a low target)
Indiana (because he meets criteria for direct admit to Kelley)
Lafayette (although that might be a low target)
Fordham (4th generation legacy, literally has 14 family members who attended)

Considering adding Bentley or Ithaca, but we haven't visited them and right now we need a break from college talk/visits. So those are maybes.

He likes all of them and says he would be happy at any of them (of the ones he's seen.)[/quote]

Nice reasonable list. Indiana is an outlier though, huge compared to the others. If he likes it, maybe add another big scoop to the mix[/quote]
