<p>How competitive an applicant are you: scores, grades, rank, EC's,awards, etc.?</p>
<p>Cross BU off.
BC? $31K? idk how you feel about that
Tufts is a little under $30K
So is Northeastern.</p>
<p>I'm blanking...We need more criteria.</p>
<p>I'm sorry, I didn't give enough information...
*I get good grades, all A's & B's except for one or two C+'s on my report card
*I was Sophomore Class Secretary & Junior Class President, involved in SADD, Peer Mediator, Part of the school's Health Committee, a student ambassador...
*Been on Girls JV Bball for 2 years and Varsity Softball for 2 years.
*I have no idea what my ranking is, but definately above 60% in my class
*I am taking the SAT's again to improve my score</p>
<p>I don't see how you could go wrong with UMass-Amherst. Good school, Journalism, Law/Legal Studies, Cheap in-state tuition rates. </p>
<p>Do you have financial need, or is it just that you don't want to spend a bunch when you don't have to? Remember, if you have need, lots of expensive private schools can actually be cheaper than public schools for students with lots of need.</p>
<p>Northeastern, Babson, Suffolk, Framingham State, Lasell, Emerson, Boston U, and Bay Path also offer Law and Journalism and are in Massachusetts. You could look into scholarships at these places too, but I know Framingham State has in-state rates for you. Every other place has expensive private tuition, but they also have $$$ to throw around.</p>
<p>Well my family can't afford to spend so much, but UMASS Amherst & Framingham state were some of my top choices! So now I will look into them a lot more closely... thanks :)</p>
<p>Did you visit Suffolk Universtiy? They give some great packages! The classes are small and most professors I've had have an Ivy education.
The honors classes I've been in have anywhere from 2-15 students, great classes! Professors like to get to know their students and tend to start conversations with students after class that last for hours (I'm not exaggerating), they e-mail students, and advise you along the way.
I chose to go there last year for International Law/History Studies because I couldn't refuse the package they gave me. If they don't offer a class they will find one of the surrounding colleges that do (classes at MIT & Havard are on my schedule this fall, and it's added on to your schedule as a directed study).
I think it's a great choice for undergrad, plus Boston is amazing!</p>
