St. John's University in NY is agreat school and gives a lot of merit aid to B type students w/ decent SATs. It is a large urban school, so if your son is OK w/ that, I would take a look. Good programs accross the board, esp. business, pharmacy, pre-law majors. | |

| I want to second Merrimack College, which was mentioned by an earlier poster. It's located in North Andover, about half an hour north of Boston/Cambridge. Most noteworthy...It's going to a 4x4 curriculum (i.e., four 4-credit courses per semester) next year; which will put it squarely in the company of top LACs. It has strong programs in liberal arts, science/engineering, and business. | |

| New England College in Henniker, NH? It's a private LAC 90 minutes NW of Boston, with about l,000 students, many from the New York or Boston area, whose stats resemble the kids at state colleges, but they don't want to go to a big place. Also draws kids from all the New England states. My data is 15 yrs old, but I recall l:10 student/fac ratio then. Many business majors, but it's an LAC. Too much drinking evident for my tastes, but that's true everywhere these days. Very rural, small town, Pat's Peak for skiing. Not a mall in that town; nearest cities are Concord (25 min) or Keene (50 min), and they are very small cities but have malls. Henniker itself is: fresh air, starry skies, mountainous, like 100 years ago.

| My son is class of 2008 and has a similar profile, although he is a first team all state swimmer. He got into RIT, Virginia Tech, Clarkson, Hartwick, University of Maine, and U St. Thomas(MN). He didn't get into Union, but he kind of messed up the interview and ignored the swim coach (i.e. he REALLY didn't want to go there for some reason...) UMaine has a good engineering program for his SAT range | |

| I think both Holy Cross and Stonehill would definitely be reaches with this profile, but hey, you never know. | |

| I thought that Holy Cross was very hard to get into. | |
