<p>Have your brother take a look at the midwestern LACs. Asians are still URMs there and the financial aid/merit aid is more generous than at many of the top east coast LACs. Schools to consider: Grinnell, Carleton, Oberlin and Macalester. Slightly less competitive: Kenyon, Beloit, Lawrence, Rhodes </p>
<p>Note that Grinnell, in Iowa, which my S attends, has the smallest class size of all the top LACs in the country. Even the intro classes in psych, bio and chem are 25 or fewer students. And a huge endowment resulting in generous financial and merit aid, lovely new facilities, and lots of funding for student research and internships.</p>
