<p>I like your approach. You have a goal, and you’re looking for the most efficient way to reach it. It’s not for us to judge the merits of your goal.</p>
<p>I would look at 4 year colleges that are NOT ranked in the USNWR Tier 1. Here is a good place to start: [National</a> Universities Rankings - Best College - Education - US News](<a href=“http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/national-universities-rankings/page+8]National”>http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/national-universities-rankings/page+8) Just get down to the bottom where “Tier 2” starts, and find a school that suits you.</p>
<p>Alternatively, you could look under Regional Universities, here: [Regional</a> Universities (Midwest) Rankings - Best Colleges - Education - US News](<a href=“http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/masters-universities-midwest-rankings/page+5]Regional”>http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/masters-universities-midwest-rankings/page+5) find a Tier 2 Midwest Uni. If you prefer another region, then just pick the region here and scroll down to Tier 2: [Best</a> Colleges - Education - US News](<a href=“http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/masters-universities]Best”>http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/masters-universities)</p>
<p>Lastly, do the same for Regional Colleges, here: [Best</a> Colleges - Education - US News](<a href=“http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/bacc]Best”>http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/bacc)</p>
<p>You might also want to check out the first 20-30 on this list of “Highest Acceptance Rate” schools: <a href=“http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/highest-acceptance-rate[/url]”>http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/highest-acceptance-rate</a></p>
<p>Lastly, go here: <a href=“http://www.collegedata.com/cs/search/college/college_search_tmpl.jhtml;jsessionid=636ee1e074ae72b89245eedbe0df5ef816ad1de27960e12ec78806a8aad1bfec.e34LaheKcheQci0Mah8OcheObNuNe6fznA5Pp7e.1[/url]”>http://www.collegedata.com/cs/search/college/college_search_tmpl.jhtml;jsessionid=636ee1e074ae72b89245eedbe0df5ef816ad1de27960e12ec78806a8aad1bfec.e34LaheKcheQci0Mah8OcheObNuNe6fznA5Pp7e.1</a> and go to the ADMISSIONS dropdown menu to pick “Uncompetitive”</p>
<p>There are more than 3,000 colleges and univeristies in the US… you will most certainly find one that is no harder, or even less hard, than your high school.</p>
