<p>I’m not as pessimistic as the other posters. If you have truly turned around and have teachers willing to write LOR to that effect then try small LAC with holistic approaches. You could try test optional colleges but your SAT scores in Math and CR are actually quite good, which, theoretically shows that you have potential. I am guessing you are male so you can also try heavily dominated female colleges which are always looking to balance their numbers. Don’t forget to look at the CTCL listing, you might find some gems there. Finally, I would look at the smaller State schools from your state, that might work also.</p>
<p>With some research you can probably find some solid LAC colleges, just not the ones that roll off everyone’s tongue. Which btw, doesn’t mean all that much in the end. You’re looking for the best college FOR YOU, which probably means one that nurtures and sees who you have started to become, not who you were. Good luck!</p>
