<p>I'm a B average student
so far I've already been accepted at the University Of Pittsburgh and University Of Massachusetts - Amherst
so don't worry, there are plenty of good schools for B students</p>
<p>I'd strongly echo nocousin - those are all great schools without extreme admissions requirements, please don't get caught up in the college confidential notion that "if your college is not in the USNews top25/50/100 you will not be successful" - that's an utter load of BS. </p>
<p>Since you have a good GPA/class rank, I can definitely see you getting into James Madison, they're more focused on what you did in HS, rather than your SAT score. JMU is great for political science and often overlooked as they're somewhat "hidden" in the USNews masters universities section, but they're an amazing value from out of state. You'd have a good shot at Elon too, and it's a great school but a bit more expensive.
You could definitely give Wake Forest a try since they're SAT optional now, but it's still a reach.</p>
<p>thanks! any schools in New York or D.C or Boston worth looking at?</p>
<p>Bates, Bowdoin in Maine are SAT optional as is Holy Cross which is 40 miles west of Boston. All three are well respected liberal arts colleges.</p>
<p>you might do a search on B+ student thread. There is a large, established one in the Parents' section of CC. Also, because your SAT score looks like your weakest area, look up the SAT optional list:</p>
<p>Optional</a> List | FairTest</p>
<p>If you are female, you might look into all women's colleges since they often are less "numbers oriented" and look at the applicants holistically and assess for potential a bit more.</p>
<p>i think if u can write a meaningful essay, u can possibly get into schools such as syracuse, tulane, u of rochester, etc. ranked 35-55 by us news easitly</p>
<p>American University in Washington DC, Northeastern, agree with U Mass at Amherst.</p>
<p>with respect to bowdoin, although it's SAT optional, it much prefers you to be an A+ student.</p>
<p>I'm a B average student</p>

<p>-wrote good essays
wheres the best places you think i can get in with those stats?</p>
<p>I agree about American. Also, I think you should look up North since you are liberal if it's important to you that other people around you think that way, as you won't find as many liberals in the South. American is a good mix of conservatives and liberals if that's what you're looking for. </p>
<p>Women's colleges are worth looking at, even the better ones like Smith or Mt. Holyoke (although they'd probably be reaches), because they are both SAT optional, but they are smaller than what you're looking for. I've heard really good things about Meredith from extended family. </p>
<p>I go to Presbyterian, another one of the ones that nocousin mentioned, and you would definitely get in. I really love our Political Science department--They're very brilliant, even for a "A+ School for B+ students" sort of college. It's one of the more popular majors here, and we have a really good reputation for getting people into grad schools of all types, considering the "A+ School for B+ students" label. You also mentioned liking history, and history is definitely one of our best departments (second only to biology, IMO). There's also a fair number of Democrats here, for a school in SC. They also give out tons of small music scholarships, even to kids who can't sing, if you don't mind being in the choir. It's small, only 1200 students, so it might feel stifling to you if you really want something bigger. Just be forewarned that Greek life is huge here and basically dictates the social scene, so if you're not interested in going Greek, make sure you're comfortable with that.</p>
