Don't know anything about UofC.
AP coursework and extra GPA points are becoming more of a "normal" thing now. Things are only going to get more competitive as applicant numbers climb for a finite number of college slots. That coursework should look good on applications, and he may be able to get some college unit credits for passing AP tests... I skipped 3 Freshman English classes in college for passing the AP English exam back in the day.
I agree with Jimmie about the radius - stay in state if possible unless there is a ridiculous offer somewhere.
Look into all of the NY school that are highly ranked in his major areas and go from there. Apply for grants and Scholarships at every opportunity... (You're lucky the FAFSA is online now... LOL) And apply at as many schools in his top ten as possible. Better to have a clot of choices!
Best of luck!
