Need some help selecting a college

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I've been having trouble trying to find a college that's a good fit for me. I know I definitely want to major in English. My home state is CT so I'm looking for a college in CT, MA, eastern NY, RI, or southern NH. I scored a 690 on the SAT verbal, and 550 on the SAT Math. I had a poor GPA in high school but I am currently attending community college in CT with a 4.0 GPA.</p>

<p>Basically I'm looking for the strongest/most challenging English program that is a realistic option for me assuming I keep my GPA where it is now.</p>

<p>As far as future plans for job/career, I have no problem putting in some time in an office, however, my dream would be to end up writing for a hip-hop magazine like Complex or URB.</p>

<p>Any help would be very much appreciated and thanks in advance.</p>

<p>In addition to any suggestions people here provide, I suggest you try one of the search engines, such as what’s on princeton review or collegeboard’s website, and certainly start with the other tools here at college confidential. You need to factor in your budget in addition to the scores you list. Good luck.</p>
