Anyone have a student apply/attend western schools? California, Oregon, Washington state, especially.
Looking for schools that accept B/B- students. My student attends a rigorous school, but is in the bottom third of the class, GPA-wise. SAT's in the 1600-1650 range. Wants to be in the west. Would prefer schools with less than 5000 students. Urban/suburban/rural is fine. |

What does he/she want to study?
Some of the smaller Cal State campuses, or UC Merced might fit the bill. The "directional" schools in Oregon (e.g. Southern Oregon, Western Oregon . . . ) are small and serve kids in those ranges. Depending on what he/she wants to study Woodbury in Burbank is a great school, although the majors are limited. Santa Clara is a nice small school, although it might be a reach rather than a match. |

Have you actually researched West Coast Colleges? That's a very selective list of schools. |

Ha ha. Maybe if the 1600 SAT scores were for just CR+M. But I'm pretty sure it's for 3 section. So no. Not these schools. |

No way you can get into these schools with that average. |

Maaayyybee Lewis & Clark or Pitzer if they were exceptional in some other way (extracurriculars + a passion) but definitely not Harvey Mudd. Other schools: University of Puget Sound Santa Clara Evergreen State U San Diego Willamette U San Francisco If a girl, Scripps college (all girls Clairmont school) or Mills College (in Oakland) |
