COLLEGE DIRECTORY

A GUIDE TO THE COLLEGES THAT WELCOME B STUDENTS

As a B or C student, you have many options when it comes to finding a college that is right for you. In fact, there are far more colleges that want you than you could ever apply to in a single year. Your challenge will not be finding the right college but narrowing down your list of possibilities.

As you will see, not all colleges require certain GPAs or test scores to make it past the velvet rope. Now it’s time to meet some of the schools that not only accept B and C students but that also embrace them. These colleges are competitive and offer the highest quality educations, but they also recognize that students like you have much to offer and are committed to ensuring your success.

How These Colleges Were Chosen

All the colleges and universities listed in this directory were chosen for several reasons.

 They each offer very high quality educations. Just because the colleges listed here accept students with less-than-perfect scores doesn’t mean that they sacrifice quality. These schools are committed to preparing you for your future.

 B and C students are welcome. These colleges have test scores and GPA averages that fit well with the typical B student’s range. In addition, the schools offer programs such as tutoring or mentoring that will help students succeed once they are in college.

 They are competitive. While not as selective as many of the colleges at the top of news magazines’ lists, the schools listed here do have standards for admission. Because they generally draw from a smaller geographic area, community colleges are not included.

 They offer diversity. These schools represent all parts of the country and all sizes, from small to large.
