[quote=Anonymous]If you are open to private schools I would look at mid tier liberal arts schools that may offer merit aid.  For example, Earlham, Wheaton (MA), Lewis and Clark, Furman, McDaniels, Centre College, Bucknell, Goucher, Skidmore, St. Olaf's, Hobart and William Smith, etc.  My little brother even got into American as a reach with worse grades/stats than that in 2009.  NYU and BU have programs where you take remedial gen ed classes if you are a "less competitive" candidate and then matriculate into the regular classes after a semester.

Then out of state, Colorado Boulder, Miami of Ohio, some of the non-flagship campuses of out of state schools, Evergreen state, etc.

The in state options have already been stated.

I think those who are saying that he should go to community college and transfer are being silly.  Not everyone can be the top of the top of a competitive high school and that doesn't mean he isn't well prepared for college, or won't get into somewhere where he can get a decent education that won't break the bank.  A lot of less competitive private schools offer merit aid to those who did reasonably well at competitive high schools.  Your son definitely has options, don't let these silly people on the boards convince you otherwise.[/quote]
