Good colleges for me?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I'm a high school junior and am starting to look into colleges right now. I have a list of a few I'm already interested in but would really like some imput from others based on what I want from my college experience.</p>

<p>I have 3.8 GPA and I'm thinking about majoring in English, Media Communications, or Journalism right now..though I'm actually leaning towards double majoring. I would love to go somewhere with a strong department(s) in any or all of these programs. I have a slight interest in International Relations. My ECs include French Club, Scholastic Challenge, French National Honor Society, Yearbook, the School Newspaper, and Varsity Track. I haven't taken my SATs or ACTs yet. I would like to go to a college that's coed and has an average to large student population, that's also in an urban area (though I don't mind suburban colleges that you can get to a city easily from). I would like to stay in the US but am open to colleges based in other countries as well (also near metropolitan areas). And finally, a school that provides decent financial aid would be great!</p>

<p>I would really appreciate it that, based off the things I listed, someone could give me advice as to which schools would be a good fit for me. With your recommendations, please include some reach schools as well as some safety schools!
Thanks,
LitWit</p>

<p>Without your SAT or ACT scores, it’d be hard to give you a list of colleges. Based on just your GPA and your major of interest, you can take a look at Chapman University. However, Chapman is a mid-size private school, not a large school. Their undergrad International Relations courses are listed under Political Science. For courses in English, Media Communications, or Journalism, look under their department of English and their film school. If you plan on double majoring, I suggest you to apply to their film school first, you can always declare your other major once you get accepted to their film school since that is the hardest to get in.</p>

<p>The other options if you like large campuses would be public schools such as UC’s and CSU’s, but you would need to check with each school for your majors or interests and their criteria.</p>

<p>With mid-sized to large, co-ed and urban/suburban, and those majors, there are dozens of schools to choose from. Get your test scores and class rank and then repost.</p>
