<p>Thanks for your input, courtjestr and flopsy! :)</p>
<p>flopsy: Yeah, not sure if I will even bother with Berk, and I'm trying to avoid applying to public schools in other states anyway (so expensive!). ;)</p>
<p>courtjestr19: My comm service is basically just stuff to keep me in NHS ... the required 20 hours per year that I convinced my mom was "for school". Some stuff I'm surprised even counted, like when I was a cashier at a snack bar when my school hosted a national basket ball tourny. That kinda stuff sounds to pathetic to put on my app.</p>
<p>As for created stuff, will colleges really care very much about the specifics of my art or music if I'm going for a major in a completely unrelated field? And do you mean that IR is a hard major to take or to be accepted with (assuming the college puts any stock in intended majors)?</p>
<p>PS: Anybody know if Syracuse and Boston U might be slightly closer matches to me?</p>
