For business and engineering, look at Lehigh’s Integrated Business and Engineering program (honors). Beautiful, LAC-like university that is very sporty, Greek, social and highly rated for engineering.

BTW - I know exactly how you feel with your college freshman away now. I started early in 10th grade with my DS for the same reason. Also more academic than his sister and focused in a particular area (also engineering). While he had no idea what he wanted at that time, we made some college trips when we had time to see what he liked. Really helped when he decided against city schools (based on Penn) and loved Lehigh. So we went more in that direction.

Still, as others have said, even with a top student (my DS is in top 5% of his class, senior year), it’s so hard to tell how test results will come out. PSATs in fall of 11th grade were not even indicative. However, I understand your interest in doing your research.

Feel free to PM me at any time for more insights into early college search.
