<p>Which college should I most likely aim for now, seeing my grades, ECs, etc? Suggest other schools, if you know any that have a good criminal justice program.</p>
<p>Yeah it’s way to early for you to aim for these schools right now. I would possibly add American University, Georgetown, and George Washington since they are all in DC also. If you don’t do Criminal Justice you can just major in Law & Society. With the family income though, I would say do WELL in high school and try to aim for over a 3.5 GPA with a great SAT score since you would need a merit or need-based scholarship. Alot of those schools you listed are all out of state so it cost’s alot of money. For example, Michigan State is a GREAT school but they don’t have great financial aid and with the family income you posted you may just get around or lower than $8,000 a year in just aid. I had a lower family income cause my father is disabled and my mother can’t work and I just got $8,000 in total aid from MSU even though the cost of attending was around $38,000-$40,000. This would mean I would have to loan around $30,000+ a year which would be the same case as you. So just concentrate on your studies and do well in school and try to be involved in those clubs and get some leadership talent in there.</p>
<p>dude, this is way too early… you don’t even have test scores or any grades in high school to base your grades off of; wait another 2 years and then come back to this list</p>
