<p>Planning on majoring in either Poli Sci, History, or International Relations for B.A.
Planning on getting a MA in International Relations, then following that up by joining the Peace Corps. Then I hope to move on and work for a government organization.</p>

<p>Colleges I’m thinking about:
American University
DePaul University
George Washington University
New York University
Ohio State University
University of Wisconsin Madison
University of Michigan
Boston University
Fordham University
Seton Hall University
University of San Diego
Georgia Tech</p>

<p>I know many of these are reaches, and so I would love any suggestions you might have.</p>

<p>Thanks for helping!</p>

<p>Bump: would also like to add university of marlyand - college park and tulane</p>

<p>Save yourself some money and narrow that list down to five or so colleges. You won’t have time to apply randomly to all of those schools. It’s virtually pointless. Focus on refining and improving the essays and material for those colleges that you truly wish to attend.</p>

<p>Alright, I’ve narrowed it down:</p>

<p>American University
George Washington University
University of Wisconsin Madison
Boston University
UMass Amherst
Seton Hall University
University of Maryland - College Park
Tulane</p>

<p>Are these colleges realistic for me?</p>

<p>That’s a list of 8 schools that you narrowed down from 13 in a matter of a few minutes. I’d suggest you do some research and find the schools that you’re truly interested in rather than throwing together a list.</p>

<p>Oh, I’ve been narrowing them down for a few hours now. I just came and checked to see if anyone responded here (which you did!), and so replied back.</p>

<p>Thanks for the help, though!</p>
