<p>It’s a little hard to give advice without knowing more about his interests (academic and otherwise), but I’ll give it a shot! :)</p>
<p>University of Rochester seems to be a great fit! Great music program (for non-majors, too) and the opportunity to build your own major with the open curriculum.</p>
<p>Case Western isn’t all that hard to get into, but the students are incredibly smart. The professors seem very involved. Known as a techie school, though… not sure if that’s something he is into.</p>
<p>Drexel’s students are down-to-earth and work hard. The campus is located in Philadelphia, where there are many things to do.</p>
<p>I’d recommend visiting a few schools to see if he is more interested in a LAC or a university. That will help him hone in on specific colleges a lot easier.</p>
<p>Also, don’t worry too much about your son’s test scores. There are many schools that will give great scholarships to a student in the 85th percentile!</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
