<p>I know this has been covered before, but wanted to start a fresh thread with more up-to-date information. All input is welcome</p>
<p>virtually any directional/regional state school</p>
<p>Univ of Pitt - Johnstown (high retention rate)
SUNY, College of Tech, Delhi (high retention rate)
CUNY, NYC College of Tech (high retention rate)
Fairmont St U, WV (high retention rate)</p>
<p>(if you’re worried about acceptance, look at USNews College book, some state regional U’s have 100% acceptance rates - or very, very high acceptance rates)</p>
<p>small privates (some religious owned) that need students, such as…</p>
<p>Notre Dame College of Ohio (high retention rate)
Midland Lutheran College, Nebraska
Central Methodist U, Missouri
University of Dubuque, Iowa
Our Lady of Holy Cross, Louisiana (high retention rate)
Concordia U, Michigan (high retention rate)
York College, NE (high retention rate)
Alvernia College, PA
Cabrini College, PA
Immaculata U, PA</p>
<p>I’ll try to add more later… :)</p>
<p>Depends also on what you mean by “C” student. A “C” student with all honors and AP courses can do well, if their average is 2.5 or so. A “C” student with a bunch of junk and low level classes better look for community colleges for at least a year. </p>
<p>If your SAT or ACT scores are halfway decent that can help you. Look at the lower level tier 2 schools and tier 3 schools. Many of them will take you, particularly to fill classes and gaps in admissions. </p>
<p>Don’t despair. Work hard this year and look forward, not backwards.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>This is true…I hadn’t thought that perhaps the OP might be talking about someone who hadn’t taken a typical “college prep” curriculum</p>
<p>And…what exactly is a “C” student??? Is that one who has a 2.0 GPA? or someone with a 2.4 GPA??? (I’m not even sure what people mean when they say a B+ student…3.5???)</p>
<p>Yes, please post more information.</p>
<p>Test scores, actual GPA, curriculum/courses, ECs (especially sports could help), etc.</p>
<p>Options, other than community college, for a 2.0 12th grade student with a few honors courses, but mostly standard. We don’t have any standardized test scores yet. No high school sports, but an interesting outside of school sport (but it is not competitive).
Thanks for the suggestions.</p>
<p>Curious, all the above advice is good. To help others help you, do you have a preference for region of the country? Size of School? Public vs. private?</p>
<p>I think the student would prefer the southeast. Probably private with good advising, so not large.</p>
<p>In North Carolina:
Catawba College,Wingate University,Belmont Abbey College, Lenoir Rhyne College, Gardner-Webb University, Greensboro College,Mars Hill College,Pheiffer College, Lees-McCrae College,Methodist College. Not a private but Western Carolina University is a small state u. that might be a possibility.</p>
<p>I have a 2.07 and took all low, basic classes and I’m applying to:</p>
<p>St.John’s
Pace
Seton Hall
Fairleigh Dickinson
Long Island
Kean
Rutgers-Newark</p>
<p>And these are all colleges in NY & NJ … decent-great colleges for C students if your not thinking about the community college route.</p>
<p>A private that would take your child’s stats is probably not going to be good with aid.</p>
<p>Can you pay full-freight (about $40k-50k per year)?</p>
<p>Is your child male or female?</p>
<p>Seton Hall above mentioned is a great choice…wonderful school…</p>
<p>University of Montevallo… [University</a> of Montevallo](<a href=“http://www.montevallo.edu/]University”>http://www.montevallo.edu/)</p>
<p>Small, public LAC, and inexpensive for OOS. </p>
<p>Out-of-State Undergraduate tuition $434/ credit hour… So…
if a student takes 30 credits for one year, the tuition would be $13,020 - very cheap for OOS tution anywhere! :)</p>
<p>Lots of private attention. My neighbor’s son went there for college and liked it. My son went to Boys State there during the summer after junior year.</p>
<p>What would your child’s likely major be?</p>
<p>The parents can pay full tuition. (The student is not my child, just helping out parents who are not on these boards). The student is male and I do not know the major.<br>
Thank you all for the ideas.</p>
<p>This is for my good friend’s DS - HS 2015. He will have a GPA of 2.0-2.5 and SAT might be a little help and stronger in math. Geography doesn’t matter, they don’t need aid and I think if anyone has a very small university in mind, she would like to know about those. She would love for him to go to Marietta College where she and the dad went, but thinks he will not be able to get in and really doesn’t know other possibilities out there (nor do I). </p>
<p>He is a lacrosse player and being recruited is a strong possibility for DII or DIII but if not, he will have to have at least a club team on campus. He travels for lax so I suspect he has many videos already and would be willing to make initial contact with coaches of suggestions on his own. His sis plays for Stanford so the parents know the drill.</p>
<p>This is from the mom:</p>
<p>Interested in a good LAC that has an engineering program and perhaps music/art…maybe even something involving public speaking such as broadcasting, etc…</p>
<p>Most LACs don’t have engineering and those that do tend to be pretty competitive. To be honest engineering will be difficult for a C student. Maybe Shawnee State (environmental engineering technology)?</p>
<p>University of Hartford.
D1 lacrosse.
Engineering school, good communication program, great arts and music.
Modest SAT average scores.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if a B student can get into an A school?</p>
<p>Here’s my question:<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/1448970-oh-no-did-i-just-ruin-my-chances-my-grades-have-dropped-1st-sem-senior-year.html#post15353748[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/1448970-oh-no-did-i-just-ruin-my-chances-my-grades-have-dropped-1st-sem-senior-year.html#post15353748</a></p>
<p>I’m sorry that this is a late post, because I am a C+ student (2.8-3.0)/ B- and was looking at some colleges. For future refferences, Marlboro College in Vermont (great choice), Virginia Wesleyan College, Salve Regina Universit (RI), Roger Williams University (RI), University Of Montana, Kansas State University and The Evergreen State College(WA).</p>
<p>2.8-3.0 GPA is more like a B- to B. C+ would be something like 2.3.</p>
