If not the ACT, then see if he can retake the SAT and raise that score.

What can his parents afford? OSU offers some very generous scholarships, but to a very limited number of students. Can his parents afford 25K or so a year? Case Western offers nice scholarships, but they are off of a pretty high (60K plus) cost so affordability may still be an issue.

Please look over the Alabama forum. Lots of very high achieving kids are thriving there. (My nephew is on a full tuition scholarship and doing very well.) If this young man is thinking of med school down the road, then conserving funds for medical school could be crucial. It’s worth a second look IMO.
