<p>Hello, I am a rising Senior in high school, and I am looking for some schools that would fit my criteria. Here it is:</p>
<p>I have an overall GPA of about 2.7 with AP Classes (didn't do well Freshman Year and Sophomore Year, but have always been on an increase)</p>
<p>SAT: Around 1800</p>
<p>I am looking for schools on the East coast. I am from Virginia, I do not mind schools anywhere north but not particularly northwest. Southern areas it all depends but I am open to suggestion, expense is an issue but not major just as long as it is not $40,000 then you should be alright. I like Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, all of those places seem great but if you have any other places were you can find great colleges and universities then it helps. </p>
<p>Big College scene is great, but small all depends really.</p>
<p>Sports is preferred, and a good social scene.</p>
<p>Thats it. Thanks. I hope to hear some great information. Thanks.</p>
<p>As I'm sure you know, the GPA limits your options quite a bit, but here are a few suggestions that might fit your criteria and are reasonably easy admits:</p>
<p>Lesser Perfesser I really appreciate those schools thanks a lot, Though I do know that my GPA is low, I attend a very competitive high school top 100 in the nation, so depending on which school I apply to it will all make some difference. Though still my gpa has been on an increase and I feel that when I take the SAT's this comming fall that I will have a much better score and it will help a lot. I am just looking for schools at this moment that come close. Thanks. I STILL NEED MORE SCHOOLS.</p>
<p>Shameless plug for my state school: if you're looking at UMass, UConn, Rhode Island, and the SUNY schools, you may like the University of Vermont as well. Your GPA is slightly low, but your test scores are right in range, so if the rest of your application is strong, you've probably got good chances there.</p>

<p>About 11,000 students, good mix between a big & small college feel. They've got about 1,000 grad students, so they have the resources of a university, but the primary focus is still on undergraduates.</p>

<p>Their basketball team in particular has been getting a lot of attention lately; skiing, hockey, lacrosse, and soccer are also very popular. I don't know much about the social scene, since I don't go there, but I know a lot of different types of people who are students there and they've all had really positive experiences.</p>
<p>For that matter, you might do well at the University of New Hampshire as well - somewhat larger, a little less competitive AFAIK.</p>
<p>I appreciate the quaere post, the only thing that I would like more of from Vermont though is the reputablilty of the school. I would like bigger schools that are more noteable. Umass is a great example because it is a well known school. I do still appreciate that. Thanks. I STILL NEED SOME MORE SCHOOLS.</p>
<p>Are there any colleges in North Carolina that I might be able to get into, I would though like to get into a diverse university as well so keep that in mind. Big schools are preferred. Thanks. I STILL need some more schools.</p>
<p>Well, North Carolina State (Raleigh) is probably within your admissions range. It has more of an engineering/ag/tech focus than UNC, but is still pretty strong overall.</p>
