<p>Hey all! I was wondering if you lovely people knew any liberal arts colleges that put a greater weight on essays, interviews, recs, ECs than most colleges. I have mediocre grades (3.4) due to extenuating circumstances, but I really want to go to a strong college. I have very strong ECs and recs and I interview pretty well. Anyone know any colleges that focus less on an applicants grades that are still good?</p>
<p>Look at the College That Change Lives: [Colleges</a> That Change Lives | Changing Lives. One Student at a Time.](<a href=“http://www.ctcl.org/]Colleges”>http://www.ctcl.org/)
Also there is a thread somewhere: Schools with at least 50% admit rate and at least 50% graduation rates - it’s a very good source for strong college programs.</p>
