<p>I'd very much prefer to be in DC for the internship opportunities, but go ahead and tell me how my list is overall.</p>

2

<p>maryland-college park has some good honors programs that you might want to look into ... its another school within reach of d.c.</p>

3

<p>i think you've got a great list of safeties, matches, and reaches there</p>

4

<p>Looks good! Just curious, which school are you applying to at Georgetown?</p>

5

<p>I'll be applying to SFS. I know this isn't a chances thread, but overall how many of those schools seem within a reasonable grasp for me to get in?</p>

6

<p>Bump. PLEASE!!!???</p>

7

<p>DC... That's my turf.</p>

<p>And UMD College Park is actually a really good school. I'm avoiding it like the plague because I wanna get out of here, but you should really consider it as a safety if being in the DC area is important to you. Maybe to replace Fordham?</p>

8

<p>Well I wanted one school in NYC for possible UN internship opportunities (Columbia would be ideal and I may apply as a high reach). </p>

<p>I'll consider UMD College Park as well, but I hear it's very dangerous. Is this true?</p>

9

<p>I've heard that it has that rep, and I really don't get it... I have friends who go there and would probably laugh if I told them that. I bike around there all the time. My mom works there, so I was hanging out on campus when I was eight...</p>

<p>I'm sure there are dangerous areas, but I don't really see it as being much of an issue...</p>

10

<p>By the way, am I right in assuming you're interested in majoring in political science/government/something like that?</p>

11

<p>You're correct. International Relations/Political Science in that area.</p>

<p>I'll look into UMD-College Park. :)</p>

<p>Totally Agree, UMCP is a great choice, especially for its strengths in academia and approximate location near Washington D.C.</p>

13

<p>Out of that list (add UMD-CP) what do you think are my reaches, safeties, matches?</p>

14

<p>Bump. Come on guys.</p>

15

<p>Just do research on the Internet, like Google:</p>

<p>USWNR undergrad college ranking for ___________</p>

<p>the page that comes up tells ranking, cost, # students.
Then go to the college website and look around for 'incoming student profile' or the 'fast facts' button, or dig around in the Admissions section for their SAT/ACT and GPA 50% figures.</p>

<p>you will also see in some cases that they will list the # of applicants they get, and the # they accept and the # they admit.</p>

<p>This doesn't take that long to do, and you have the info from the horse's mouth, so to speak, instead of wondering whether CC respondents goofed in giving you their opinions.</p>
