<p>First, my SATs will be around 1420-1470 (say 1450 for sake of arguement), gpa is 3.3, average ECs (below average even maybe, the main one is varsity lacrosse). I’m looking for a college in or with easy access to a big city (Eastern seaboard, preferably), under ten thousand students, somewhat of a relaxed atomsphere (students don’t spend all their waking hours studying). Any schools you guys know of that fit my Academics and what I want from a college?</p>
<p>BC? but a 3.3, seems like a low GPA for such high SAT scores and the lack of ECs…but yea, i think BC fits that profile. My brother goes there and I can attest to how nice it is and easy to just get on the T and get into Boston in no time. And from what he tells me, you can get away with not studying all the time</p>
<p>Interesting. That was actually on my list but I crossed it off because I figured my gpa was too low.</p>
<p>Look at Elon College, Fairfield U, Allegheny College and Ithaca college.</p>
<p>Might want to look at some LAC’s like Colgate or Holy Cross-both better than Boston College. Holy Cross is in a city and also only 1 hour from Boston. Also BC doesn’t have varsity lacrosse, while Holy Cross and Colgate play in the highly academic Patriot League.</p>
<p>Its worth a try. From what Ive read, they are very big on high standarized test scores so yea, you got that part going for you</p>
<p>What about Davidson? Your GPA may be a tiny bit low for it, but your SATs are right there.</p>
