So.. where does the AVERAGE student go to college?

<p>No, kook. Haha. I’m just a beach lover, and for the last 10 or so years I’ve been living 5 hours inland. Its not the people, just the environment. And it kills me! </p>

<p>What are some good private universities on the coasts that I have chances of getting into? Like - NYU would be pretty tough for me, and USC impossible. But what about the schools that are a notch less selective, but similar, to those?</p>
