<p>Please make a list of your choices for a B student with good SAT's. Major, money, and geographical location (stay in US) do not matter.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>What are your preferences for what you want in a college?</p>
<p>Georgraphic location, size, cost, urban or rural, intended major…</p>
<p>There are MANY universities, and to name a few I can just say some community colleges which you can get into.</p>
<p>There are several threads on this topic in the Parents Forum. If you read through them you should get some good ideas.</p>
<p>Is this for you?</p>
<p>Will you be doing Army ROTC?</p>
<p>There are soooo many that we can name, please give us more to go on…</p>
<p>Why does everyone always suggest Community College for those with GPA’s like 3.0’s? They can still get into Universities. One of my friends brother got into Stony Brook with a 3.2 GPA. Stony Brook is ranked top 100 in the US.</p>
<p>A 3.0 with good test scores, strong recommendations, perceptive essays and interesting ECs is different from a 3.0 with mediocre test scores, indifferent recommendations, a blah essay and few or no ECs. In the latter case, if you add financial need, and therefore no possiblity of scholarships or merit aid, community college makes a lot of sense. </p>
<p>When someone says “3.0 and 1800,” as the most salient characteristics, the assumption is that there is nothing else in this applicants favor, so expect to see the CC recommendeation.</p>
