I’m just curious, why would you apply to schools like Babson/Bentley when you want to major in journalism/teaching? Babson is a very pre-professional business school, with a strong focus on entrepreneurship. Bentley is similar, but with a stronger focus on finance. Your college list is scattered. What exactly do you want in a school? Also as someone who is going through this process now: if a college offers early action, do it! It isn’t binding, it gets off of your plate, and you don’t seem to be the type of person concerned about not having those mid-year grades being sent. Babson offers early action.
