<p>For communication, look into Syracuse Newhouse, Ithaca, UMissouri-Columbia. More generally, based on the little information we have: Fordham, Hamilton, TCNJ, UMiami.
I would compare the % of classes under 20 students and the % classes 40 and more. 40 in my opinion is the lower limit of a large class and is very likely to be a lecture, not a discussion.</p>
<p>not interested in communication. more interested in business related majors</p>
<p>Why won’t you give stats? You would get MUCH more relevant advice if you give GPA and test scores (if you have any). And if you expect to retake the tests to bring your scores up, that is okay. You are sort of wasting your time – there are thousands of colleges in the US. You say up front you aren’t a candidate for the very top schools. But without more info, we don’t know whether we should be recommendation 2nd tier, 3rd tier, state directionals, etc. Knowing what your home state and your financial situation helps, too. You can’t “fix” those things, they are pretty set parameters, so it would help us give advice. Remember that everyone out here with experience in the admissions process is giving their time on a voluntary basis to help answer questions – so keeping things so general that posters are mostly thrashing around guessing what will work for you isn’t too helpful.</p>
<p>In general, you might want to look into some mid-sized universities where the classes are generally small. For example, my S went to Fordham and only had one or two larger classes in four years. And some LACs are in cities as well (ex. Swarthmore, Reed, Mcalester to name a few).</p>
<p>@intparent because my grades are not relevant. I do not want schools that match my grades, i only want top schools that offer a good amount of small classes and i will decide for myself whether or not i will apply.</p>
<p>So then it becomes pretty easy. Go to the US News & World Report Liberal Arts rankings. Take the top “X” colleges (whatever you consider “top” colleges") and research those. Liberal arts colleges pretty much all have small classes, although intro science class lectures are larger at even LACs. Most universities have large classes for the first couple of years, then they get smaller as you get further into your major. That should give you what you need… if you can’t be more specific in your criteria, no one can really give you a better list than that.</p>
<p>From another thread by OP
</p>
<p>yeah, i was hoping this thread would save me from doing research on my own, but i guess i will still have to</p>
<p>Lewis & Clark College and Rhodes College are two small LACs that reside in big cities (Portland, Oregon, and Memphis, Tennessee, respectively), and are accessible to the not-so-high-achieving student. From the little info you’ve given us, I suggest you look into these schools.</p>
<p>thanks, but i’m only looking at top schools for now. </p>
<p>“Keep in mind that my grades are not stellar, so don’t mention schools like harvard, princeton, yale etc”</p>
<p>“thanks, but i’m only looking at top schools for now.”</p>
<p>?? You’re making it very difficult for us to help you</p>
<p>I already mentioned in my previous post to ignore my original statement “Keep in mind that my grades are not stellar, so don’t mention schools like harvard, princeton, yale etc”</p>
