<p>His whole family goes to Iona, and he doesn’t really want to go, but thinks it easiest because he won’t have to pay anything. I think he should go to a school that is more likely to set him up to be more successful if he can. He very strongly feels that if he’s got a full ride, he should take it. Although I agree with that, I think between aid and merit, he’d qualify for a nice package at places that have better alumni connections and a better name to get him in the door at an interview.</p>
<p>And I entirely agree; although his political ideals are verging on socialism, he’s entirely close minded, haha.</p>
<p>Thank you for the point about secular schools, I hadn’t even thought of that. I’m sure he won’t object; he’s an atheist.</p>
<p>He doesn’t want to go into math or science, and is considering something to do with law or politics. He’s definitely still undecided, though.</p>
<p>EDIT: Oh, he’s only a junior. But last year as a sophomore, he was just shy of the score required to be a NMSF, so he’s hoping to get it this year.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
