Is A liberal arts college too much of a reach?

<p>Hey guys. I've been graduated from high school for a few years now, but have been unable to attend college due to an illness that i've had since I was very young. Now that I am semi healthy, I would love to attend a small liberal arts college. But my problem is, I graduated from a failing high school, in which my class of 40 was the last graduating class. I did ok in high school, but not stellar. I think my g.p.a. was around a 2.9 or 2.8... It wasn't great. I don't even remember what my A.C.T. score was.. I'm not sure anyone took it seriously and got over a 21 in my school, because it wasn't emphasized how important it was. There is a reason the school was closed, it should have been closed far before it was. Due to circumstances I didn't have a great attendance record, and had to be homeschooled for a bit. I completely understand that a pretty decent liberal arts college is a big reach for me. I was thinking of Applying to Eugene Lang, but even that seems to be a big reach... I've been looking into second tier schools.. Evergreen caught my eye.. I just don't know. I'm interested in Lit. and Writing.. If that should help any.</p>
