College Search & Selection

<p>I'm looking for a couple reach and a couple good match schools that best fit my goals. I want to attend a fairly prestigious or at least well-regarded university. I don't mind small schools or large schools, but I don't want to be a ridiculously small town with no social scene, or a ridiculously large school that also has a big student to teacher ratio. I don't want all of my classes to be lecture halls filled with 200 other people. Speaking of the social scene, I'd like to be in a somewhat competitive, intellectual environment, but still have a fun college experience. I'm mostly interested in sticking around the mid-west or going east. I'm the cold weather type =P I plan on double majoring in english and theatre, but I don't want to go to an arts school. If I change my mind I want to have a lot of options for majors. I haven't decided 100% on what kind of career I want after graduation, but some of the things I've considered are teaching high school English/theatre, working for a newspaper/magazine (not really as a journalist, perhaps an editor..maybe even get involved in publishing), or trying to find work as a paid actor. English has always been the subject I was naturally good at, so it seems like something I could do well in, but I don't really know what kind of career a B.A. in English could help me get.</p>

<p>Here are some stats:
3.9/4.0 unweighted gpa. Ranked 9/413 at a less than wonderful high school. We only have 5 AP classes, I've taken 4 (AP Lang Com, AP Lit, AP US Hist, AP Calc). Decided against AP Gov. We have no AP science so I've taken bio I, bio II, chem, chem II, and physics. Four years of German. 2030 on my first SAT (600 math, 730 verbal, 700 writing). Retaking it in November hoping to improve math. Have not taken SAT Subject Tests or the ACT yet.</p>

<p>I've already applied to Indiana University and Valparaiso University as safeties. </p>

<p>thanks:)</p>

<p>You may want want to look into College of the Holy Cross, as par72 suggested.</p>

<p>Also, to be helpful, and not to crash any dreams concerning your future, the publishing world is currently suffering, especially newpapers, with no end in sight regarding the decline.</p>

<p>This does not mean that you should not go into the field, but I highly recommend avoiding the newspaper/magazine end.</p>

<p>This "opinion" does not come lightly, it comes from experience. Luckily, you can still get in on the web side of the business, so make sure you get as much experience as possible with the internet end of the publishing world.</p>

<p>Hope this helps.</p>
