Butler would probably be more of a safety for him. Northwestern, Brown and Cornell are a crap shoot, even for students with great credentials and numerous accomplishments. I was looking for alternatives to some of his other safeties- Albion, Kalamazoo- it sounds like Butler might be a good fit. The drive to Indy isn't bad from here although to go there and back in a day is a little much so it would probably require a hotel stay when I went to move him in or pick him up, but it's manageable.
The biggest downside to Butler at the moment is they don't use the common app and I don't know if we have time to get everything in for the 11/1 early action deadline. They strongly recommended he apply EA for the highest merit scholarship opportunities. We'll see how the weekend goes and if he can get the application done. He's working on his essays now.
