<p>UVA = deadline passed</p>

4

<p>I second University of Virginia.</p>

<p>::EDIT:: haha sorry, I thought you were talking about next year.</p>

5

<p>Do you think I would get into the University of Maryland (flagship)?</p>

<p>UMD is not that hard to get into. 1800+ and 3.5+ and you are probably in. However, the deadline passed for honors college and scholarships, and if you don't get your stuff in the next few days, you probably won't get in because after the deadline, it's rolling (if there are spots left for OOS who may need money). It seems you started your college search late. I hate to say this, but you may want to consider going to Minnesota or Community College for a year, and looking for colleges this summer to work towards a transfer.</p>

<p>I already got into University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. I'm just trying other places, lol.</p>

8

<p>I was listening to the radio the other day, and UC Irvine just made a HUGE addition to its Middle Eastern studies and languages departments. Take a look.</p>

<p>nyu? the deadline is REALLY close btw. </p>

<p>i would suggest george washington and usc, but the deadline is passed</p>

<p>you could also consider wisconsin-madison, as they got a program w/ the state of minnesota where you pay almost the same as an instate person. i'm not sure if its very diverse though.</p>
