<p>What are some of the lesser selective schools that are not very hard to get into?</p>
<p>Depends on what you call ‘selective.’ Some possibilities: Kenyon, Knox, University of Wisconsin, University of Washington (I honestly don’t think that it’s that hard to get into). Try looking at [Colleges</a> That Change Lives](<a href=“http://www.ctcl.com%5DColleges”>http://www.ctcl.com) for more ideas.</p>
<p>Take out a highway map of the US, and your old compass from Geometry class.<br>
Pick a distance from your home equivalent to roughly five hours of driving time.<br>
Draw a circle with the compass point on your home, and the pencil lead that distance away.
Google the towns and cities within that circle.
Unless you are in a truly remote location (the Dakotas and Montana come to mind here) you will probably find a whole bunch of nice, small liberal arts colleges within your circle that admit 70% of their applicants (or more), and that don’t produce a disproportionate number of graduates who grow up to become ax-murderers or dead-weights on society.</p>
<p>There are something like 3,000 colleges and universities in the USA. Lots of them will let you in.</p>
<p>Uhhh. I hear that The Evergreen State College is probably one of the least competitive schools to get into, but because it that, it fosters a lot of more creative types. Matt Groening (of Simpsons fame) went there.</p>
<p>Easier than taking out a map is going to the college board website and using their college finder tool. Can pretty much drill down on many criterion.</p>
<p>There are many open admissions schools that will admit everyone who applies as long as they have a diploma or a GED, and, as noted, plenty that accept over 70% of applicants. What state are you from, Mr. Ketchup? and where do you want to go to school?</p>
<p>Kenyon not selective??? Oh, I see you are at Swarthmore. I suppose if you were able to secure admission to Swarthmore then Cornell, Penn, NYU and Colgate would be considered safeties. </p>
<p>I think if the OP told us a bit more about himself (GPA, test scores, rank, etc.) we might have a better handle as to the level of selectivity that would qualify as “not very hard to get into.”</p>

As opposed to what? Harvard? Then the answer is “all of them.” As opposed to your local community college? Then none.</p>
<p>Define your parameters, and someone may be able to help you.</p>
<p>I am in new england and would preferably like to stay on the east. I was looking for greater than sixty five percent accepted</p>
<p>Look at the USNew lists. There are many schools with a greater than 65% acceptance rate. What kind of school do you want? LAC? National University? Large, small? You want name recognition? Are you looking for financial aid/merit awards? Are catholic schools in the picture? Do you want a city or rural setting? Do you want an enclosed campus? What academic interests do you have and what are your stats?</p>
<p>Less selective doesn’t in anyway correlate to poor education. It is possible, but not always the case.</p>
