<p>Hey im in a little bit of a dilemma. Im a Senior, and I am waitlisted on my top schools list, and the backup school I got into (High Point U) isnt really where I wanna go, but ill be okay there if it comes to that. Can you guys recommend some schools that I can easily get into this late in the SC, GA, NC area that arent that bad?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>kyle, wont that decrease my chances, and what does that mean to colleges? And im really not sure that if I take a semester off that I will want to go back to school. Would it be better for me to go to a college and transfer than to wait?</p>
<p>i took a semester off and just got a fulltime job, made me want to go to school more. applied to uconn and lsu for spring semester and got into both. i think you could get into kentucky or tennessee (i did, 3.3 25) for spring semester if you wanted to. i dont think colleges will accept apps this late, and i dont think it hurts your chances, i think it helped me with getting into uconn...</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure Kennesaw State still takes applications. They have pretty decent dorms (most freshman are suite style with own bedroom and bathroom) and many of my friends are happy there.</p>
<p>Jijboi--There are a number of schools still accepting applications--I don't know what your preferences are as to location (urban, rural etc.), whether you're male or female, what your monetary situation is or whether you mind a school with a religious affiliation, but here are some reasonably good schools that I believe are still accepting applications:</p>
<p>South Carolina</p>
<p>Claflin University
Presbyterian College
Winthrop University</p>
<p>North Carolina</p>
<p>University of North Carolina--Charlotte (seems like a pretty high percentage of students commute)
Campbell University
Meredith College (all female)</p>
<p>Georgia</p>
<p>Agnes Scott (all female school accepting aps until Monday--maybe they'd give you an extra few days to get in recommendations etc.)
Berry College
Covenant College
Mercer University</p>
<p>If you're willing to consider Florida, there are some very good schools in Florida that I believe still are accepting applications as follows:</p>
<p>University of Tampa
Eckerd College
Stetson College
Florida A& M (May 10th deadline)</p>
<p>Also, Hendrix in Arkansas is still accepting aps. Your SAT scores are low for Hendrix, but it's an excellent school and you never know what might happen if you apply.</p>
<p>A little off topic, but is the school I got into (High Point University) any good? I heard that Nido Queibin (the new president) is trying to increaase the schools reputation and hes done a lot so far with the millions hes raising to improve the campus.</p>
<p>High Point is highly ranked in Comprehensive Bachelor's - South in USNWR. The school isn't too well known outside the area, but I think Queibin will make an enormous difference. He has contacts and drive and vision.</p>
<p>Here's the link to last year's NACAC Space Availability List, so you can play around with it before this year's list becomes available.</p>
<p>Jijboi--Many congratulations. I'm really impressed that you sent in a new application so quickly and got positive results. If you plan to attend Winthrop, have a great time and if you're still waiting to hear from other schools, good luck!</p>
