At the moment I’m down to Bradley Sports communication and Mizzou Journalism. I love sports, and have done lots of writing in high school. My basic search criteria was a school between 6-12 thousand with a connected campus, and a downtown place to walk too from campus. Bradley sounds like a great place, with just under the size I wanted, and the sports comm program really intrigues me. The only thing really holding me back is that I looked at the “requirements” to get directly admitted into the mizzou j school and it said you “needed” either a 29 ACT, 1210 SAT, or be in the top 10% of your class. I wasn’t any of those things and made it in (Because of my extra curricular writing i think), so its almost like I’ve been honored with this opportunity and while bradley might fit a little more to what I like, and Mizzou might not completely fit into what I had originally looked for, it might be worth the sacrifice.
Is it worth the sacrifice?
Thanks
Either of those schools would be a great choice. I think you might be reading too much into the stated requirements for Missouri’s program. It might be an honor if you are the rare exception to the stated requirements, but perhaps lots of students with your characteristics are participating in that program. Also, you asked if Missouri is wroth the sacrifice but you didn’t mention what the sacrifice was. Is it just that it is a larger school or is it much more expensive?
Thanks for the response, the sacrifice was going to a larger school that didn’t completely fit into my original search criteria.
