<p>I have applied to both, and I'm currently waiting for my decisions. Hopefully, I get into both places. (I'm pretty confident that I will; my GPA is a 4.0, and I've taken nine AP classes and multiple honors classes) But let's say I do get into both. Where should I attend? The major I put down for GMU was Government and International Politics. Being where GMU is, I thought that was the best idea for a major; plus, I love government! (Happy Election Day, by the way!) But that's not my only interest. I'm not QUITE sure what exactly I want to do. There are a lot of things I like and wouldn't mind doing for a living. Anyway, for VCU, the major I put down was Business with a concentration in economics. (That concentration is subject to change) I was reading on their website about the internships that are offered there, and it's quite impressive. Keep in mind that I probably will get my masters. I'm not sure if it'll be right after undergraduate or later down the road. I'm a really outgoing person, and I feel like I wouldn't feel at home at Mason because of its reputation as a "commuter school". I haven't had the chance to visit either colleges yet; though, I'm sure I will to get a better idea of what campus is right for me. I love cities, so VCU seems more appealing. But honestly, the core of what I am looking for is academics. What do you guys think I should do? This is so stressful, but it's exciting at the same time! Thanks, guys! Have a wonderful day!</p>
<p>with a 4.0 you should apply to Virginia tech, james madison, and possibly UVA. But I think Mason is better than VCU in both gov and business. I’m applying there too! Could you chance me? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1408561-what-my-chances-gmu-jmu-vtech.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1408561-what-my-chances-gmu-jmu-vtech.html</a></p>

<p>Do pay a visit to both and see what you think. You also should get in touch with kids from your high school who are already at these places and ask them how things are working out for them.</p>
<p>Tech and JMU don’t interest me that much simply because they’re so far away from my family… I’m iffy about UVA, and I have thought about W&M.</p>
