Good IR/Polisci schools

College Majors

<p>I need some advice on relatively good schools with good International Studies and Political Science programs, though I need to know what kind of schools are in my range.</p>

<ul>
<li>I'm a high school junior</li>
<li>I have ridiculously low math and chemistry grades (Cs in academic math and Cs in honors chem)</li>
<li>I'm in the 88th percentile for my PSATs (Reading 68, Math 46, Writing 70 = 184)</li>
<li>My SAT scores aren't available yet but it's safe to say that I got between a 390 and a 570 like my PSATs said I would (pitiful, I know).</li>
<li>I have As in honors english and honors history</li>
<li>I've completed five years of German as a junior with As from German 1-4, and a B+ in German 5, which is weighted anyway. I won a scholarship to go to Germany for two and a half weeks last summer.</li>
<li>I've been on student council for all three years of high school and am running for school president for my senior year.</li>
<li>I've been a DECA (An Association of Marketing Students) State Officer for two years and I am currently beginning my third year as an officer as the PA DECA Vice President.</li>
<li>I'm on the Student Advisory Board to the Superintendent for my school district.</li>
</ul>

<p>I'm interested in George Washington University (stretch x10, I assume), Washington College, and Penn State. I definitely want to be able to study abroad.</p>

<p>mitchell, i don't know how you expect someone for whom GW is a reach to get into Georgetown.</p>

<p>Macalester is a school made for Ir...but Im choosing Northwestern because of all its opportunities in the international field. I used to feel all special but now everyone is doing some form of international relations :)</p>
