College Search & Selection

-must have a journalism major

<p>U Syracuse (don't know how your stats match up but it has good communications/journalism)</p>

<p>bump
10 char</p>

<p>Why do you feel you need another school? Syracuse is definitely a good suggestion, but your list looks alright to me...</p>

<p>I need another school because IMO I only have one good match/safety school, that being Albany. And I would like another one just in case I get rejected/don't get enough money from my other schools. Of course Albany is an inexpensive school and I would save a lot of money from going there, but I think I'm partial to the idea of attending.</p>

<p>And for Syracuse, it's deadline is 1/1, so I don't have enough time to apply (more specifically have my transcripts and other stuff postmarked by that date).</p>

<p>How about Marist, St. Michaels and Lynchburg. Good luck!</p>

7

<p>yeah i never considered it, but marist looks real good. the only possible flaw I can find is that according to princeton review, they hardly give out any aid/scholarships. thanks for the suggestion poi!</p>

<p>You might consider applying to Utica College. I believe that the degree you receive is actually from Syracuse U. and it has a decent journalism program. Also, take a look at Quinnipiac.</p>
