Although my grades aren’t all too great, I think I am very strong in my EC activities. I’m trying to consider what colleges to apply to, and I don’t know where to begin. I want to get out of the south and either go to New England area or the Pacific Northwest. What colleges should I apply to? Do I have a good chance at scholarships?
I want to either major in Environmental Studies, International Studies, or International Relations. I really want to be in a large city like NYC, Seattle, Boston, DC, etc.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
