<p>lookinng at the forum i don't see any kids with GPAs like mine so i'm wondering where do you reccomend kids like me go? i have not taken my SAT and SAT2s yet but they won't be exceptional scores. Also, kick-ass recs are garanteed.</p>
<p>I plan to major in international relations/ economics and minor in art. i want to work for non profit organizations like Fair Trade or the UN (hehe). I want a school that will fit my profile, is diverse and have plenty internships and study abroad chances for its students.</p>
<p>I'm thinking about
1. NYU Florence (for that year in italy)
2. GWU
3. Brandeis
4. Macalester
5. Bard
6. Bates
7. Northeastern
8. Boston U
9. Syracuse
10. Bently </p>
<p>the thing is.. those schools are all reach schools for me.. so i was wondering if you guys could give me some suggestions.
Thanks! :)</p>
