I wont delve into specific colleges as its too soon for that and he doesnt have all his grades for Junior year. This coming September you will know a lot more and colleges will want to see his transcript and if they are unsure will want to see another semester of work from Senior year.

That being said, its ALWAYS wise to plan colleges as such: apply to 10 or so. 3 reach, 4 match and 3 safety. You pick em’ (meaning working with with him for financial considerations and academic expectations and likelihood of admission, but MOST importantly ought to be that “fit” factor, which is a combination of many subjective factors)

Good luck.
