Yes, we might wander by Rochester or Binghamton while we're in the area. Butler would be a safety and I'm a little concerned that he has so few of those on his list. He really does like Albion, in Michigan, and I figure that's the super safety that he loves. They have a Gerald Ford program in Public Policy that requires internships and they find them for the students- in Detroit, Lansing or Washington DC. We'll see what the merit aid looks like
He would be less than 2 hours from home too, which would be nice for me.
The rep from Butler at the college fair did say applicants applying EA by 11/1 would get the best merit aid. He didn't apply EA.
