<p>I have a very strong transcript, but my SAT and ACT scores were average and below. What schools have strong academics but don't see those scores? (not too far from Massachusetts/New England) </p>
<p>Also, my ideal college would have a strong (classical) music program or at least be NEAR and connected to another school that does. It would also be a fairly small school; that is, not GIANT. I also am interested in pre-med/sciences and also writing...sort of all over the place.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
