The “College of Distinction” list (you can buy the e-book for ~$3 on Amazon) is indeed a good resource for B/C students looking for small Christian (including Catholic) colleges (students with higher grades may find themselves getting nice merit offers).
Elon, Wake Forest and App State are also on the “Colleges of Distinction” list. Thanks for letting us know that they’re all “small Christian colleges” for “B/C students”. ROTFLMAO! :))

The Colleges of distinction list does contain lots of private religious colleges (as well as directionals) for B/C students.
The fact some universities on that list are colleges for B/B+ or A students doesn’t negate the above.
Hpu just isn’t in the same category as the three above.
High Point isn’t in the same league as Elon; it’s like comparing the NBA to the D-League. Better Elon comparisons would be: Wake Forest, UNC, Davidson, and North Carolina State.

A better comparison would be Elon and Wofford or Furman. Davidson, Wake and UNC are a few notches above Elon.
