<p>Okay, so here's my dilemma. I originally wanted to major in Journalism and Fashion Merchandising because it combined my two passions- writing and fashion. I would ideally like to work for Fashion magazine when i leave college, maybe editor. I'm not exactly sure yet.
I applied to
1. University of Florida
2. University of Miami
3. Northwestern University
4. Indiana University- Bloomington
5. UNC- Chapel Hill
but I recently found out, after tons of research,that none of these schools have a fashion merchandising major or any fashion related major in that case. They have really good Journalism schools but nothing related to fashion so I was considering in double majoring in Journalism and Marketing instead. Do you think that marketing will help me gain the skills I need for my career even though it isn't fashion concentrated? Should I settle for a school that has both majors but not an "as good" journalism program as the ones I am applying to thus far? Any opinions on double majoring in these two fields or the business programs at the schools listed above?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, Im just not sure what direction to go in or what to do. (:</p>

<p>You should call up the career dev. departments of these schools and get some statistics. See if there are any alum working in fashion that you can get in touch with, or at least get the #'s. See what firms they are working with and if those firms actively recruit from those schools.</p>
