<p>I am a Junior in High school and as summer and college applications fast approach I am lost in the sea of colleges that are available.</p>
<p>I live in Florida, and attend a school in the top 5% of high schools according to Newsweek ( I really don't know exactly what that means). my parents combined income is about $65,000. </p>
<p>I Plan to major in International relations, and minor in political science or government. </p>
<p>I would like a list of colleges that have strong programs for my intended major and ways that i can improve my resume to fit the criteria of those colleges. </p>
