answer:Searching for colleges in New England is “sorta” like searching for haystacks in a hay field. There are tons of them that would fit your criteria. I suggest you go to a website like www.princetonreview.com and do a geographical, size and intended major search. That will give you a list to start working from. After that, you can visit each school’s website or go to the library and look up comparative write-ups in the college guides. Narrow the search down to 8 or 10 schools initially and do some further exploring. As far as getting your GPA up, nothing works better than studying. If you need “extra help” ask for it from teachers or tutors.
