<p>sorry this is really long! but...
Any chances at Northwestern, University of Washington, Cornell, Emory, or other top schools w/ good programs in journalism? Feel free to comment.....Thanx….</p>

<p>11th grade
ACT: not yet taken
SAT: 1300—will be taking SATs again and SAT II later
overall GPA from 1st semester junior year: 3.14 (no weighted grade...totally screwed up sophomore year w/ GPA, but rose from a 2.71 last year to 3.57 this semester)
CLASS RANK: top 33% of 305 in my class
(I know my GPA and rank are pretty sad, but I was hoping the SAT/ACT, scores along w/ good recs and essays would make up for it. Also, our school doesn’t weigh grades, so the top 10% of my class/4.0 students—are mainly the ones not taking any advanced classes.)</p>

<p>Also add Ithaca College, Emerson, Quinnipiac U. to your list for possible safeties.</p>

3

<p>University of Missouri-Columbia; University of Georgia-Athens; University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill; Syracuse University (Newhouse School); Northwestern (Medill) are among the tops. I don't know where you got your information on Emory, Cornell and UWash, but these schools are not known for their journalism programs.</p>
