<p>What would you recommend for a B-student? Stronger in math and sciences, and not so hot in humanities. Haven’t taken the SAT yet; expect around 1200 (700m, 500v).</p>
<p>Preferred LAC’s kind of environment. Location not important. Probably major in science in undergrad, and may be law eventually.</p>
<p>You might look at Allegheny, Franklin and Marshall, and Earlham. These might be reaches but not impossible if you have good recommendations in your science subjects and interesting ECs or sports. Or if you are an alternative non-traditional type with a strong individual focus, perhaps Hampshire College. A good SAT prep course might help to raise the verbal score.</p>
<p>Muhlenberg College ¶ might be of interest to you.</p>
<p>Are we talking about a top student with relativelyt weak SAT scores? If that’s the case, Bowdoin may be of interest.</p>
<p>Thanks guys, I’ll look into these schools.</p>
<p>Alexandre,
This is an average student…improving but probably no more than a B/B+. Bowdoin is probably out of her league.</p>
<p>Bowdoin is very selective.</p>
<p>Off the top of my head, I would suggest that your student take a look at Hiram, Elmira, Hanover, Cornell College (in Iowa), Coe, Alma, Lake Forest, Illinois College, Monmouth (in Illinois, Juniata, St. Andrews Presbyterian, Lynchburg. With the limited information given, I would think that the schools I mentioned range from solid matches to slight reaches.</p>
<p>Elon University</p>
<p>Hobart/William Smith, Ithaca, Juniata, Loyola (MD), Muhlenberg, Union, Denison, Lawrence, Elon, Hendrix, Thodes, Rollins, Stetson, Mills, Whittier, Endicott, Hillsdale, Hartwick, Lake Forest, Lynchburg, McDaniel, Ripon, Roanoke and Wittenberg.</p>
<p>Look at Occidental College in Los Angeles.</p>
<p>question about the topic title, LAC’s for a B-student</p>
<p>Is that a B “dash” student, or a B minus student? 
Makes a difference</p>
<p>Mount Holoyoke(if your a female)</p>
<p>Pitzer College</p>
<p>Occidental is not the place for a B student unless they have extremely high SATs. Oxy is now very competitive in terms of admissions and median SAT of accepted students in the past several years has been in the mid-1300s.</p>
<p>Some other thoughts: Linfield College (Oregon), University of Redlands (calif), University of the Pacific (Calif), Whittier (Calif), Goucher College (MD), Augustana College (Illinois), McDaniel College (MD), Washington College (MD), Susquehanna U ¶, Hartwick College (NY), Millsaps (Miss. ), Hendrix (Arkansas), Guilford (NC) and I agree with all of the excellent mid-western suggestions made by ice maker above.</p>
<p>I would hate to discourage a student on this forum from applying to a particular college because they may not think they have the scores/grades. There are many things that schools consider when making decisions. Many private colleges are looking for a very diverse student body. I have known colleges to take students who’s scores/grades are below the mean because of other underlying factors.</p>
<p>Scripps- great school in great consortium</p>
