[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thx!  
He's likely going to apply to both Bucknell and Lehigh as well as some large universities.

Any ideas for liberal arts colleges with some element of this culture that are a tier above Bucknell?  He's actually a really studious kid--[b]a weird mix of super academic and social "bro" (party going, guy's guy, sports loving, etc).[/b]

This should be Davidson's advertising slogan. Also fits for Washington and Lee. Maybe UVa, too. [b]Studious frat bro heaven.[/b][/quote]

OP here. 
This is pretty much who he is:  "studious frat boy."
His PSAT is in line to be a national merit semifinalist, he has a 1560 SAT and straight As in tough courses but he'd rather drink and play golf than ever spend more time than needed studying. 
He goes to a rigorous private and doesn't have to study much--he has close to a photographic memory.  He will probably end up in sales or Wall Street. 
It's odd. husband and I are geeks--especially my husband.  Our son is nothing like us. 
His dream school (or so he says--he's never visited) is indeed Dartmouth.  We visited Wake Forest and Davidson and he liked both of them--especially WF. 
We (the parents) are cautious and we're trying to direct him towards safeties.  Thank you for all the suggestions! [/quote]

Has he looked at UVA? [/quote]
