What are some good colleges to apply to?
Okay guys, I’m giving you an opportunity to plug your alma maters here.
I’m going to be heading into my senior year of HS next year and I’m going on college tours and starting my applications this summer. I have an SAT score of 2230 and a GPA of 3.3, a few extra-cirriculars and a bunch of community service.
What schools in the Northeast to northern midwest, along the lines of the following, would you suggest. I don’t care about large vs. small or private vs. public or liberal arts or whatever, as long as they’re not extremely religiously affiliated. Just trying to get an overview.
Mass: Northeastern, BU, Brandeis
Conn: ConnColl, UConn
NY: Syracuse, Geneseo, Binghamton, Union, Sarah Lawrence
Penn: PennState, Muhlenberg, Franklin&Marshall, UPenn
DC: GWU, American
Maryland, Delaware, Wisky, Michigan
I will probably apply early to Syracuse Newhouse School of Journalism but if anyone has some good suggestions, ask away.
Also could mention I had a 33 ACT.
Thanks
I think your best option would be to search for universities that specialize in the particular program you want to go into. If Journalism is your thing, find universities that have excellent journalism departments.
It may be outside of your zone of looking, but if you are actually searching for journalism, perhaps my alma mater of Marshall University in Huntington, WV would be appropriate. The school newspaper has been established for over 100 years and the student radio station WMUL has won numerous national awards for student broadcasting.
