Best school to transfer to for journalism?

<p>Hey,
I'm a first year at Ohio State looking to transfer. My dream is to become a sports journalist or work in sports broadcasting, but I'm beginning to realize OSU is subpar when it comes to their journalism program and internship opportunities close by. I've always wanted to live and work in NYC. I'm trying to find a school that would offer me a great education in regards to journalism, a vast amount of internship opportunities close by, and if the school offered a concentration in sports journalism (or something similar to this) it would be a huge plus.</p>

<p>Any advice along the lines of how I should go about becoming a successful sports writer is more than welcome!</p>

<p>I'm currently looking at Syracuse, NYU, Columbia, and UCLA.</p>

<p>Oh yea, and my stats are looking like this------ 4.0 GPA, in both the Honors program and Multimedia Marketing and Communications Scholars program, involved with numerous clubs, working towards the DLTP award, leader in diversity oriented club, Office Assistant for campus housing, and I am a staff writer for an upstart campus magazine. I also have an internship for an online travel writing company this summer since I'm studying abroad in South Korea this summer as well. My HS scores were a 1790 SAT, 28 ACT, top 9% of class, 4.16 GPA and valedictorian status</p>

<p>I know thats a ton of information, but any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!</p>

<p>Can you afford NYU or UCLA? Ohio U, U Missouri and Northwestern are also known for good Journalism.</p>

<p>It depends on the financial package they give me. Does anybody know anything about the Journalism program at Boston University?</p>
