BU, Maryland Syracuse, Temple, Emerson: How hard is it to get into these schools?

<p>I'm a current junior that has just begun the college search process.. My list of schools I would say I am considering right now ( in no specific order) is Boston University, Syracuse University, Emerson College, Maryland ( College Park) and Temple University...</p>

<p>In what order should these schools be ranked amongst each other based on the difficulty of acceptance?? My GPA sophomore year was around 88-89, and this year I'm continuing to make more challenging courses ( 1 AP class, 2 honors classes). Nontheless, I am a hopeful journalism major and have visited half of these schools thus far.</p>

<p>From the research I have done, Maryland ( College Park) seems to be the most difficult to get into, while all the others aren't very tough, many apply to these top universities, making acceptance more difficult.</p>

<p>Any feedback is appreciated.</p>
