<p>whats your GPA if you know</p>

3

<p>^4.5 I think...I use to be 13th out of 465...but I've slipped a little</p>

4

<p>If your stats are in the right range, Tufts is obviously worth a look. They're very proud of their IR program, and access to Boston is good.</p>

5

<p>preference for big or small schools?</p>

6

<p>Definitely check out American University in DC (it's a big feed for political science and international relations majors, not surprisingly).</p>

7

<p>^American's a good safety, plus it has a lot of advantages just from being in DC (great internship opportunities)</p>

<p>Look at Tufts, Georgetown, and GWU</p>

8

<p>^^Perferably bigger schools. I'm from New Hampshire, so I was maybe learning towards Boston/New York? </p>

<p>-How is D.C.?</p>

9

<p>look at BC, would be match to safe match depending on test scores</p>

10

<p>^I definitely think I'll check BC, although I was a little disappointed that it isn't quite in Boston :(</p>

11

<p>its not in Boston, its in a better location. dont have to deal with living IN the city, but you can get there whenever you want</p>

12

<p>Very good point ^.</p>

13

<p>CH is like down the street from Boston, it isnt a big deal.</p>

14

<p>Yeah, and Tufts is the same, a 2min free shuttle ride to davis sq., 4 stops from downtown, 2 from cambridge (Harvard Sq, which is just as exciting, in my opinion)</p>

15

<p>DC is the best college city in my opinion. Be sure to apply to Gtown.</p>

16

<p>JPOD: What's CH?</p>

<p>*I'll definitely visit D.C./Georgetown...what are your guys' views on New York City for school?</p>

17

<p>CH = chestnut hill, where Boston College is located</p>

18

<p>^haha gotcha</p>

19

<p>^I think it just depends on the type of person you are and whether or not you feel comfortable in a big city-type atmosphere, which based on the locations of the other colleges you are applying to sounds like you may be a good fit for NYC.</p>
