Don’t worry about eliminating schools. You can only go to one.
But do look at costs. If your parents can afford QU then great. If not go where is cheapest. If you save $25k at Mizzou for example, that’s $100k over 4 years. The journalism program draws nationally. But it’s likely huge and I do think small departments may offer a better education.
You might ask each school for outcomes of their grads in the programs you are pursuing so you can determine the reality of pursuing the career you want from that school. UNH is a great school but from a prominence POV Mizzou and Newhouse with Emerson third are tops. Doesn’t mean you should go.
I’d estimate 90% of my BJ cohort at SU never made it on air or even lasted behind the scenes after a few years (like me).
Any way see about the docs like you said and check back in a month.
The good news is you have schools you can go to. An opportunity is all you need !! And you’ll have multiple so congrats.
