<p>This may need to be moved to "what are my chances" - I wasn't sure which board to place it in because I want recommended schools and not odds on schools: </p>
<p>I was hoping some of you would recommend colleges for me based on my interests and stats. Let me try to keep this concise but informative. </p>

<h2>My interests pertaining to colleges</h2>
<p>Location: would prefer to be somewhere warm, sunny, relatively progressive, and hopefully cheap
Size: Class sizes preferably smaller than 30:1
Preferred Schools: In a perfect world I would like to go somewhere with great professors like Georgetown or Berkeley where I can explore not only my core polisci or law courses, but also cool courses like Berkeley's Astronomy courses with Alex Fillipenko. I also want schools with a good emphasis or grasp on classical education like greco-roman philosophy and culture and with a great history department.
Career Goals: I hate to use that word career. My goal is to attend law school at Emory or U of Iowa and hopefully join an organization like F.A.I.R to help implement media reform or with the Public Broadcasting Service on programs like Frontline or with National Public Radio for programs like Talk of the Nation or with independent radio/broadcast programs like Democracy Now.</p>
<h2>High School Info and Stats</h2>
<p>High school was a total disaster. I smoked a lot of marijuana and slept through most of my classes and failed to pass Algebra or anything farther than Freshman level English. My ranking Junior year was 3rd from bottom of the class. Senior year I transferred to an alternative high school where academics were the equivalent of crossword puzzles and I managed to get my high school diploma. </p>
<p>Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope that given this information you can recommend at least a handful of schools I should consider.</p>
