<p>okay the ACT...35 english, 29 math, 32 reading and 27 science.
SAT not so great with a 2020 total.. i'm really not the best test-taker</p>

<p>i'm a B+ (8.7 out of 12 on our scale) student at a small private school </p>

<p>senior schedule: AP psych, AP Enviro, Narrative and Poetic Technique, Advanced PreCalc Topics/Differential Calc, Economics</p>

<p>5 on AP world exam, 4 on both Art and US history
white female
anticipating great recs from AP history teachers
will have good essays</p>

<p>ECs
-fencing (the sport..yes, there has been confusion)
-a lot of community service- consistent club leader, run an elementary school tutoring program
-two intensive internship programs- one for a major magazine and then another writing a newsletter
-write for the school newspaper </p>

<p>studied photography and art history in Florence the summer preceding my junior year. did a college-immersion program at Amherst the previous summer- took journalism and creative writing.</p>

<p>i was told for so long the northwestern journalism program would be perfect for me, but when that time came to seriously begin the college-search, i realized how much of a long shot THAT really was.
chances for the journalism program at University of Maryland College Park early action?
Please help! Thanks!</p>

<p>University of Missour - great broadcast program.
Syracuse - one of the best j programs in the country.
University of Kansas - has a good reputation.
Kansas State - doing all the right things in this program.
The two Kansas schools won’t be difficult to get into.</p>

<p>There are others - but the requirements are up there with Northwestern.</p>

<p>University of Maryland has an excellent program. I think your chances are good.</p>
