I would HIGHLY recommend he take the ACT again. I will be matriculating in the Villanova School of Business this fall and I was admitted with a 2060 SAT score, equivalent to a 31 on the ACT, which is on the lower end of admits, who scored between a 30 - 33 on the ACT. In other words, Villanova was a reach for me with my scores. I had a similar GPA to your son.

As far as engineering goes, it’s just as competitive as VSB. I have a good friend who was wait listed with 1440 SAT CR + M (with an 800 on M) and around a 3.95 GPA.

My advice would be to take the ACT and aim for a 30 or better (ideally a 31). I recommend looking into Drexel, Loyola Maryland and the University of Maryland at College Park as all of them have great engineering and ROTC programs. Loyola will feel the most similar to Nova as it is Jesuit and mid sized.
