Where can a B/C student get in to college

Its easy to figure out where high achieving students with stellar GPAs and near-perfect standardized test scores should apply to college. Lists of the top schools are filled with places that everyone has heard of, whether because a school is Ivy League or has a fabulous football team. Competition to get into these schools is notoriously fierce. Stanford University, for example, admitted just 5% of its applicants for the Fall 2015 semester. For the majority of students, straight As and sky-high SAT or ACT scores simply dont happen. With the number of students applying to college each year increasing, the odds of getting admitted to a reach school get lower and lower. So where should a B/C student apply to college? As deadlines loom ahead, its a good idea to look at some of the lesser-known and perhaps under-the-radar schools that can offer your B student the same college experience he would get at a larger, more selective school. Here are ten universities that have much to offer students who are not at the top of the class.
