<p>What kinds of schools can a student like me, in all level ones and ap’s yet all b’s and not so pretty test scores get into? Just wondering what my best shot is. . . i know this is not very specific but basically what are the academically best schools for an okay student?</p>

<p>You are really being very vague, but that list is a place to start…</p>

<p>Thanks, and to be a little less vague say I got a 1700 on my sat (I’ve only taken psats) and a 3.6 gpa, and good ECs but not very diverse</p>

<p>Midwest schools:</p>

<p>University of Iowa
Iowa State University
University of Nebraska
Kansas</p>

<p>If you favor a Liberal Arts type school, Truman State University in MO.</p>

<p>A better question is what can your family afford?</p>

<p>Any tuition, but not to give huge donations or anything</p>

<p>I would look at some SAT optional schools. [SAT/ACT</a> Optional 4-Year Universities | FairTest](<a href=“http://fairtest.org/university/optional]SAT/ACT”>ACT/SAT Optional List - Fairtest)</p>

<p>What area do you live in? What is your intended field of major?</p>

<p>i want to go in new england, and the major question is tough… I’m interested in the engineering field, but I have a wide range of interests including mathematics and writing too. Just don’t include any liberal arts colleges :)</p>
