Thanks for being gentle 
Agreed, of course. Let me remind that the problem with these kind of “binary” charts is, that sometimes people feel they need to come up with an equal number of pluses and minuses, just to have balanced lists.
What can get lost are the nuances - a “con” for one school might be barely so, while a different “con” at another school could be closer to a deal-breaker in weight - dito for the “pros”.
That’s why I wanted to invite the OP’s son (through questioning) to take a moment and reflect upon how important/validated some pro/con factors might truly be, vs. others.
3 pros vs 2 seem like an obvious winner.
But upon more nuanced examination, 3 @ 0.9 weight vs. 2 @ 1.4, the result can flip.
Hence my hesitancy to quickly jump to “absolute” conclusions.
