<p>What are some schools like Tufts for students that do not have high scores?
My scores are GPA: 3.5
ACT: 29</p>
<p>I really like the number of Jewish students, the setting, the population. I am interested in majoring in Education or Political Science/Communications.</p>
<p>I’m thinking Brandeis: It’s a little less selective, a little smaller in terms of size, also near Boston, strong in the liberal arts, but perhaps with a much more Jewish student base.</p>
<p>You are in their middle 50% in terms of ACT.</p>

<p>I don’t think many less selective, medium sized schools with great Jewish life approximate Tuft’s “quirky” factor, but here are a few institutions which you may want to look into:
-University of Vermont
-University of Denver
-American University
-College of Charleston</p>
<p>Here’s a list from the thread in the Parent’s Forum, “Colleges for the Jewish B Student” that may be of interest to you <a href=“Colleges for the Jewish "B" student (Part 1) - #17637 by whenhen - Parents Forum - College Confidential Forums”>Colleges for the Jewish "B" student (Part 1) - #17637 by whenhen - Parents Forum - College Confidential Forums;
The list attempts to sort, by state, schools which have good to great Jewish life, and might admit a B student. You may want to cross post this in that thread. Many of the posters are extremely knowledgeable and very willing to help out. </p>
