<p>I think Carnegie, Chicago, Swarthmore and Haverford are excellent choices. Emory is a good school, but I have heard is more suited for bright kids who like to party hard on weekends. All of the Ivies except Dartmouth seem like good fits (assuming, as with Hopkins and Carnegie, he might waive the suburban requirement). Brandeis, Case, RPI,Wesleyan and Bucknell are well worth a look and in the safety/major merit aid category, Muhlenberg, Franklin & Marshall and Ursinus. Lehigh is a strong science school with a drinking on weekends reputation.</p>
