Even though you have already started a thread about a year ago about college search in general for B students, I think that you should start another thread more specifically geared toward your own child. He will have lots of good options, even with a GPA that is at the 50th% for his class. If it were known what his interests are, I think that people should be able to give you some great ideas.

Highly selective colleges CAN fill their classes, many times over, with kids with very high stats. But there are many, many more schools that can provide an excellent education, and be the perfect fit for him, that are far less selective - those schools will most likely be delighted to take him, and with merit money, too. People with dyslexia often have very strong skills in other areas - mechanical, social, intuitive - and are often very successful in life, if they choose careers that don’t rely on fast, accurate reading and writing.
