<p>Interested in Architecture/Communications and IR</p>
<p>Those are very impressive stats, considering your high school is so competitive (and your scores are all awesome too). If the rest of your application matches your grades, you could be in contention for the top schools.
For communications, I'd highly recommend Northwestern; it has one of the most reputable communications programs period.
Is there anything else you'd be looking for in a college (large/small, urban/rural, etc)? Or are academics your main critera?</p>
<p>Architecture: Rice, Cornell, WashU
IR: Tufts, Johns Hopkins, Georgetown
Communications: Northwestern, Syracuse, NYU, USC</p>
<p>What are your EC's? Any awards/honors/recognitions? Did you take the SAT?</p>
<p>ps- I like your username ;)</p>
<p>Uhhh... what are private school rankings?</p>
<p>Have you looked at the Brown/RISD program?</p>
<p>Architecture is the critical issue here - not available as major along with communications at a majority of options open to you at your academic level.</p>
<p>Cornell has a great architecture program undergrad, very competitive, with a weaker communications major in the ag school. Gov/IR will be strong. Syracuse and USC have good offerings in all three departments with stronger communications programs than Cornell. </p>
<p>If "big" isn't an issue I'd suggest you consider a flagship u that offers lots of options. Good programs at places like Texas and Penn State are probably worth considering.</p>
<p>Brown...isn't really in my selection...great school...but not for me...at all lol
I think I'll apply to Northwestern, USC (as my reaches) Syracuse (safety) do you guys know anything about communications/architecture at Upenn, Emory and Vanderbilt?</p>
