Thanks all for the great replies. Interesting that Dickinson keeps coming up in the thread. And got some good info about admissions for F&M and Laf, I was thinking they were more of a match than they really may be.
We are in Ohio actually and yes, lots of great schools here. Son wants to go out of state and we are supportive of that. Western PA not out of the question (or other states) and I’ve heard of Washington and Jefferson. We are Catholic and not against any kind of religious affiliated school, it could be a plus but is not a must.
@LuckyCharms913, son watches The Office and I’m not sure I could get him past the Scranton stereotype! We’re getting a little burnt out on visits so for now, looking for matches to add to the list that are good enough on paper to research more and consider applying. But thanks!
have updated my list with a bunch of notes, thanks all!
