Correct. Generally speaking I would say he is mostly cross-shopping liberal arts colleges at universities that are at least somewhat known for being relatively undergraduate focused, or otherwise more LAC-like in their college. His school counselor and I, though, have been pointing out to him maybe he should also be looking at actual LACs. And I think he is potentially receptive to that idea.
Whether he will ever form a strong preference for one approach or the other, I don’t know. I think it is possible he will apply to a mix of favorite LACs and universities, which I think would be fine. Or maybe it will mostly go one direction or another. We shall see.
