Ok, I found it: lac, intl rels/ language type major, northeast, 700-ish SATs.

Is the Baltimore/ DC area too far? I think it may have some very good options for him:

I think he might be in the running for merit $ at American University in DC. Good intl rels program, good internships, etc.

If DC is plausible, maybe have him apply to Georgetown EA. They have a hospital right on campus and it’s tops in intl rels/ languages. It is a reach-- especially their school of foreign service-- but a great school with good medl facilities.

Another top intl rels school with excellent medical facilities is Johns Hopkins. I don’t know how close the undergrad is to the hospital but it’s another good reach (not too high a reach).

GW also has a good intl rels program with a medical facility. I would consider it a match.

They are bigger than what he wants but they’re not huge and I know the Georgetown and AU kids in their foreign service have their own little ‘community’ of sorts.

By the way, a school we loved where he would likely get in is Hamilton. Small, liberal arts, nice kids, nice families, beautiful facilities, etc. It is rural and I don’t know if it’s too far out but you may be interested in them.
