<p>What schools are similar to Wake and Vanderbilt, campus wise and sports wise but easier to get into? I have a 3.6 weighted GPA and my SATS are not amazing they are average. I know that I don't have a chance of getting into Wake and Vanderbilt so what are similar schools? The only thing I liked about Wake was their campus and their sports.. I don't like Winston Salem which is the city only 10 min away. I love Vanderbilt's campus and I love how its in Nashville so their is always a lot to do.
I really love SMU and College of Charleston. I loved their campuses and how they have greek life. I know College of Charleston doesn't have a football team but I really loved Charleston so it makes up for them not having football. My major is undecided it that doesn't play a role into where I am looking.
Any advice would be amazing. </p>
<p>Elon is quite similar to Wake </p>
<p>Tulane comes to mind.</p>
<p>So what is most important to you… D1 sports? (Specifically football?) Campus? Proximity to an awesome city? Greek life? Smaller student body? Do you want to be in the South? </p>
