<p>Jlauer, I would look at some of the Catholic colleges, since I think your son attends a Catholic HS? BC seems to like kids from other regions -- they have a Presidential Scholarship, but seem focused on stats for that. (I know kids who had 1500+ on old SAT I from Catholic HS who didn't get the scholarship.) Holy Cross and Villanova offer Merit aid. I'd also suggest Case Western and U of Rochester, since our son had generous offers from them. If he's interested in science, Harvey Mudd used to offer aid to kids who score above a 750 on the math portion of the SAT I. I'll try to think of others.</p>
