<p>I'm planning on going into either a journalism, political science, or French major with an international relations minor or double major - though this will depend upon what's being offered. I have glowing recs from my French teacher, English teacher, and GC - should I toss one of them for an art rec, to play that up?</p>

<p>Should I apply ED anywhere?</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>buuuuuuuump</p>
