<p>If you can get your GPA up (a pretty good amount really...) you might have a shot at getting into Virginia Tech. We have good career services in general and I think our communications program is pretty good. There is Greek life here (it doesn't dominate the campus but it's presence is noticable), "big" is an understatement when you're talking about athletics around here, we're co-ed with a 44/56 split. Is that GPA unweighted? Would weighting it bump you up substantially? A 3.2 very probably won't get you in but if weighting it brings that to a 3.5 it would give you a reasonable shot at getting in.</p>

<p>Check out Syracuse-- it's in your range.</p>

<p>Unalove: fyi, OP is probably in range for Syracuse arts and science, but Newhouse would be a huge reach with grades/ACT/SAT.....They could enter into A&S and then try to transfer in soph or jun year to Newhouse for communications...Just to let you (and the OP know), Newhouse acceptance rate this year was approx 20%</p>

<p>maryland would work or Penn State, but both might be high matches</p>

<p>Ah, I was using collegeboard data in my assessment, but yeah, Newhouse is more prestigious.</p>

<p>Tennessee has revamped their journalism program and should be within your stats. It fits most of your criteria.</p>
