Drexel’s Business+Engineering would likely preclude Music and if he got into Berklee he’s likely serious about it and excellent, so I’d cross Drexel out. (Also, not sure it’s worth a premium compared to Temple Honors).
Syracuse would require an internal transfer which is far from assured and is way too expensive for that. So I’d cross it out too.
Michigan State can be in play if he’s invited to Broad direct admit.
My first choice would be American if you can afford it because of the location with the opportunity to intern one day a week in DC starting sophomore year, excellent Business school that nevertheless allows him to pursue music and, again, location is heaven for musicians.
My second choice would be Ithaca (good college town with Cornell, assuming a Berklee admit would pass the audition).
After that, Stevens or Muhlenberg depending on which one feels “right” to him.
