<p>Florida male,
Communications or Media Studies major.</p>

<p>I'm not happy with my current list and am looking for a school in the northeast, midwest, or in the west/pacific coast, with a good communications program, that will accept fairly average students. I love the smaller, LACs, but being a communications major makes it hard to be picky.</p>

<p>3.4 unweighted, 3.7 weighted. Will go up as I am grade-forgiving a D I got in 9th (grade forgiveness replaces the old grade with the new grade), and so far have a 4.0 for senior year. If I get all A's this year, and I grade-forgive at an A, I can graduate with a weighted 4.0 GPA.</p>

<p>SAT (pretty low.. blah)
r 580 m 530 w 670.
I took subject tests two weeks ago.</p>

<p>AP english language (2).
AP us history (3).
AP english literature next semester.</p>

<p>The only other AP offered at my school are music theory, biology, art, and world history which couldn't fit me into the class somehow.</p>

<p>Honors english 1-3.
Honors us history.
Honors american government.
Honors economics.</p>

<p>You see the problem? I'm not comfortable with my list at all.</p>

4

<p>Here are some other schools that you may want to take a look at: Quinnipiac, Hofstra, DePaul, Fairfield, Towson, SUNY Purchase and Drexel. I would agree with Jim that your best bet on this list is Marist. Hope these help. Good luck!</p>

5

<p>my opinion: there's a real good chance you'll get into marist</p>

6

<p>I forgot to mention to keep me away from Jesuit universities. I'm not against religion or anything, but I don't want it to be a part of my education in any way.</p>

7

<p>Interesting. You are the only student on these forums I have seen so far with grades and scores as relatively low as mine...</p>

<p>I've noticed that trend too. It's very disheartening.</p>
