I applied to these schools. Can you please rank them?

<p>These are the schools I applied to, I am currently a senior in HS in NY. I plan on studying journalism.</p>

<p>University of Kentucky Lexington
University of Missouri (Mizzou)
Ball State University
Ohio University- Athens
SUNY Albany
Temple University</p>

<p>BTW- I dont think I would get into the Mizzou Journalism program because of my grades but I would probably just get into the school itself and then try to work my way into the Journalism.</p>

<p>How do you rank/group these schools? What are the best values for out of state students? Please take into account academics/journalism major/cost/campus life when ranking.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>If you can’t get into the J school at Missou then Ohio is probably the next best program on your list, IMO. What can your family afford?</p>

<p>Ive actually already got into the EW Scripps school of journalism @ OhioU, im really happy about it as it was a bit unexpected(thought I could get into school, not the Jschool)</p>

<p>The total cost per year (without aid) would probably be around 30-35K…closer to the 30K side. Temple and Missouri are the only two that might be too expensive, we shall see. One of the many reasons I like Temple other than academics is because it’s the ideal distance for me from my home to the school, and I prefer a urban area. But I heard Temple is in a pretty rough part of Philly.</p>
