Iowa City Dad -
I totally agree with DutchFan. The one class at a time format of Cornell is actually much tougher than it seems (A credit to Cornell). Dutch was also absolutely right about ACT scores. If your son can get a 30, he can succeed at any Iowa Conference school. My only addition is to look for a school with a program that can provide tutors for students in need. Coe has an Academic Acheivement Program that arranges for students to have tutors for any class they need. This program is used by plenty of students at Coe, and not necessarily the ones with learning issues. I was a tutor at Coe and for a few semesters and tutored students with a 2.5 and a 4.0 gpa.
