<p>I am looking for a college or university with International Relations or International Affairs and Dance. (Both as majors) I have very good grades, my GPA is better than a 4.0. I am open about location. I would prefer a smaller college, but I am open to large schools as well. For dance, I am really look for a strong ballet program. Or, my dance teacher said that if I wanted to go to college rather than straight into a professional company, some companies offer a schedule where you can dance professionally and be in school at the same time. She specifically mentioned Alabama Ballet with the University of Alabama- Montgomery, but I was wondering what other schools had this?
Any suggestions would really be appreciated. I will look into them all.
Thank you!</p>
<p>Do you have any SAT or ACT scores yet?</p>
<p>Not yet, but my PSAT scores were very high.</p>
<p>Could you say what they are? It will really help us all get a sense of what schools are good matches.</p>

<p>That was my sophomore year on a first attempt. I will be re-taking it this fall in order to improve my scores as I was told that my original scores were at a level of a potential National Merit Scholar, but I will also be taking the SAT soon. I prefer academically challenging schools, but I am open to all your suggestions.
Thanks again!</p>
<p>Okay so that is a high score for a sophomore but it is not at the level of a national merit scholar, not yet at least. Depending on the state, you will probably need a score of at least 215. If you study hard all summer, that should be an attainable goal. Goucher would be a great safety school for you where you could probably get some merit money.</p>
<p>Of course! I know that my score is not yet high enough, but my counselor called me in to let me know that my sophomore scores indicated that if I studied I could possibly get a good enough score to qualify as a national merit scholar.</p>
<p>Thank you so much for that recommendation! I will definitely look into Goucher. Is it a school with a partnership at a professional school or is it just a dance major?</p>
<p>I appreciate it either way just trying to look at all my options.</p>

<p>There are probably quite a few schools that match want you want. Use the above link to get to CC’s college search function. Enter in the criteria that best matches your wants, especially regarding majors. From that list you can then adjust additional criteria to take into account your GPA, scores, geographic preferences, financial aid needs etc.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>Thank you very much vinceh!
That search was very helpful! I have used college searches before, but most of them do not allow the entry of multiple majors or if they do, it lists colleges that have one OR the other. Thanks for the help!</p>
<p>I am still interested in good ballet schools and schools with a connection to a professional company. Anyone have any input?
Thanks again.</p>
