I should probably apply to more schools...

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I've applied to 4 already. University of Illinois at Chicago(super back up), American University(most realistic), Georgetown, and Johns Hopkins. The last two are if by some miracle i make it.</p>

<p>I really want to to go school in DC to study International Relations. I didn't like GWU very much so i decided not to apply.</p>

<p>heres some quick stats: </p>

<p>ACT:26
SAT: 1870
GPA: 3.4</p>

<p>Lots of community service hours, several leadership positions, 2 varsity sports, great teacher recommendations, hopefully good essays, diversity, and rigorous high school coursework (including a French course at a local university)</p>

<p>any suggestions on schools in DC or the east coast in general with good IR programs would be much appreciated.</p>

<p>How about George Mason?</p>

3

<p>George Mason could be good. It's quite close to DC.</p>

<p>If you can get your SAT up just a bit (or get recruited by a coach there), I'd say you also have a good shot at UMD.</p>

4

<p>Also, it's no where near DC, but Denison is supposed to have a great program. I think you could probably get in.</p>

5

<p>Don't forget about Catholic University of America in DC. Get good grades there and then go to Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) in DC for grafuate school.</p>
