3.6 GPA and 32 ACT, Where to go?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I have a 3.6 GPA and a 32 ACT but I really have no idea where i want to go. I want to study international relations and/or history and perhaps serve in the military after college but I'm not too sure where I should apply to get a good academic education that can help me in the future? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>I’m not sure what you’re looking for as far as size, location, cost… But, University of Richmond has been named the “hottest school for international studies” by Newsweek. They are in the process of building solely for International Studies.</p>

<p>Georgetown, George Washington, Tufts, Virginia</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure that the U of South Carolina has a good IR program. You would also qualify for the Honors College, if I remember correctly.</p>

5

<p>American and University of Rochester.</p>

<p>Rhodes has good international studies and history programs, as well as a bridge major combining the two. There’s an ROTC agreement with the U of Memphis detachment that several students participate in. One of our alumnae was the Army’s first female 3-star general. Your ACT score would also put you in merit aid territory.</p>

<p>Yeah I go to a high school that has about 3200 students so I’m looking for a relatively big school. I just don’t really know with my grades if I should even try to apply to Ivy League schools?</p>

<p>Georgetown is within your stats.
Huge city (THE city for International Relations).
Not huge class, but…you mention Ivies and it’s similarly sized.
Great International relations dept. .
Pretty “spendy” if you don’t qualify for aid.
Someone already mentioned Georgetown, but…since it fits all your listed qualifications…I’m just elaborating. </p>

<p>Your rigor/weighting and class rank might be a factor in your Ivy question scenario. One MIGHT slip by the first look from admissions with these stats if you went to a very low grading school and have a very rigorous course load plus a high class rank.</p>

<p>University of South Carolina has a great international business program, not international relations</p>
