<p>My gpa is 3.95 and I got a 27 on my ACTS without studying I took it again in September and I'm waiting for the results.
My dream school is nyu but I loveee chapman university in California. and I'm applying to Fordham, Boston university, Pepperdine university, and university of Tampa is my one safety school. </p>
<p>I live in New Jersey and I definitely don't want to go to any schools in nj. </p>
<p>I'm thinking about majoring in communications or psychology, I just need a good liberal arts school tht has an average act lower than 27 and an average gpa lower than 3.9.
And my extracurriculars and stuff are average nothing amazingly outstanding. </p>
<p>So you want medium-sized, urban schools on the east or west coast with psych and communications majors? Anything else? And you can afford to pay for them right? And what do you love about NYU and Chapman (which are entirely different and not usually on the same list.)</p>
<p>How much your parents will pay will largely determine where you should apply. </p>
<p>If you haven’t asked your parents, do so.</p>
<p>University of Tampa can be your safety school IF you know FOR SURE that you have ALL COSTS covered. It has a cost of about $38k per year. Will your parents pay that much?? If so, then great. If not, then it’s not a safety.</p>
<p>Yes I’m looking for urban medium sized schools and yes price isn’t an issue for university of Tampa I had an interview with an admissions counselor as she said I would qualify for the 12,000 merit scholarship so money isn’t a problem there.
I really like chapman because of the location and they have a study abroad option to South Korea which I would love. I just want to be in a city like area.
I’m not set on any majors yet but psychology and communications are just an option.
Yes I know nyu and chapman are totally different but I’m open to different options.</p>
<p>Study abroad programs for American students is a huge industry internationally and most schools, if they don’t have their own programs or overseas partners in a specific country, will be willing to let you make arrangements with a reputable program that another US school has connections with. Check this out when you are researching schools. Very few will say ‘we don’t have a program there, so you can’t study abroad in that country.’ Check out this web-site (just a random example that I googled - you can find others: <a href=“Study Abroad in South Korea Find a Program StudyAbroad.com):%5B/url%5D”>Study Abroad in South Korea Find a Program StudyAbroad.com):</a> It mentions several study abroad programs in South Korea some of which are already affiliated with US schools.</p>
<p>And take a look at American University in Washington DC. A 27 on the ACT will put you at the around the 50th percentile for admitted students. With your grades, it should be relatively safe assuming you can afford it.</p>
<p>My daughter and I have looked and looked (visited a couple) and I think we have over researched (do not look up the negative comments about any colleges you like on Student Review - scary). We are so confused we don’t know what to do:
Educated in London, UK - B student expecting Bs in her A levels (History of Art, Geography and Biology). Wants to study American Studies esp. Civil Rights and a bit leaning toward African American side of things. She has done volunteer work in two schools each week. Worked twice in summer camps as she would like to eventually teach middle school. Wants to work hard but enjoy life at college. Must be co ed with sports team. Needs to be diversity and not just spoilt white bread rich types. East coast easier for commute from UK. Please can anyone throw some ideas our way. Oh and money is an issue (she will qualify for US financial aid). Help!

<p>“Any “nice” schools with American Studies majors

<p>Well, you kind of need your own thread, but you might want to consider University of Richmond. It might end up being a bit of a reach (not sure how your A-levels will match up vs grades/test scores), but worth a look. Stunning campus, excellent department, Division 1 sports.</p>
<p>I know it is very in vogue to “study” abroad, but once you get to college you may become so involved that you do not want to disappear for a semester or an entire year. all schools offer that option, do not pick a school based on that.
maybe a summer study abroad will give you your fill. </p>
