Good colleges for low GPA students?

<p>I am an international student with what would be a very low GPA. My grades alternate every year (think A average one year and just passing the next), since I did my best to exploit the education system in my country (A levles) and get by with minimum effort. Naturally, this has come to bite me in the ass in trying to apply to universities in the US. So I hope to get into a not bad 4 year college and maybe transfer out to a better school. </p>

<p>My interests are: Politics, International Relations, Economics, History, Languages (Japanese, French and Russian) and Classics</p>

<p>SAT scores:</p>

<p>750 - CR, 650 - Math, 590 - Writing
720 -Lit, 620 - Math II</p>

<p>I would really appreciate any suggestions! I’m thinking about Smith College, Mt Holyoke and St Olaf College. Thanks for the help!</p>
