english major looking to transfer

<p>I'm a sophomore English major looking to transfer this Fall. I actually wanted to transfer last fall, but I only applied to one school (American University) because that was where I was set on going. I was accepted, but then for a whole host of reasons couldn't transfer quite yet. I plan on reapplying to American because I'm interested in possibly pursuing law or journalism, but I was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions? I'm pretty much only interested in DC or New York City, too. Also, would NYU be out of my range?</p>

<p>My profile:
3.85 GPA
I'm in the honors program at my current school (University of Rhode Island).
I DJ on the student radio station.
I play an intramural sport.
I work part time.
I had somewhat above average SAT scores, and I graduated within the top 15% from a Catholic college-prep high school.</p>

<p>If anyone has any possible advice for my situation, that would be awesome/much appreciated!</p>
