<p>-assume i have decent recs (plain; not outstanding, not terrible) and above average ecs</p>

<p>so here are my questions:
1. what are my chances getting into those schools
2. for which schools is it better to apply directly to the school of communication/journalism school rather than apply to CAS or something and then applying to the COM school after freshman/soph year?
3. anyone have any safety school suggestions? </p>
