<p>Try better title next time so people who have answers on your topic will open it. Look in the parents and other similar threads for colleges for “B” students.</p>

<p>You will have plenty of choices if you don’t want ivy/. There are a lot of excellent schools that would be a good fit for you. Birmingham-Southern in Alabama has a good environmental program. The University of Montevallo also offers a good choice. </p>

<p>What’s the reason for the relative disparity between your GPA and SAT score, if you don’t mind me asking? (I’ll bet colleges will wonder, too.)</p>

5

<p>Look into Hampshire College. They have a great Environmental Science program and are test optional also. It’s not a school for everyone, but for the right kid, it’s amazing.</p>

6

<p><a href=“Hendrix College | Environmental Studies”>http://www.hendrix.edu/EnvironmentalStudies/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

7

<p>Just tossing out a few names:
Eckerd College (FL), New College of Florida, Whitman, Hendrix, UNC-Asheville, Hampshire, College of the Atlantic, Marlboro, University of Puget Sound</p>

8

<p>Warren Wilson. Environmental Science + Bike Racing. Win win!</p>

<p>Unity College (in Maine): <a href=“http://www.unity.edu/”>http://www.unity.edu/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Neither Hendrix’s nor Hampshire’s ES programs are comprehensive although Hampshire is excellent for most subfields. </p>

<p>Fortunately there are a lot of excellent options, especially if you want to focus more on the bio side of ES.
Here are some suggestions:
St. Lawrence U
University of Puget Sound
Willamette
Oxford College of Emory (Emory considers its ES program as one of the school’s strongest)
Sewanee
College of the Atlantic (I was offered a position in Acadia National Park. Very hard to turn down owing to the sheer beauty of the region)
University of Minnesota - Morris
Eckerd College
Beloit
SUNY ESF (the partnership with Syracuse makes its program among the strongest out there)
UNC Ashville
Allegheny College
Hobart & William Smith
Wa
Appalachian State (larger than what you’re looking for but an outstanding school)</p>
