I’m a high school junior and am starting to look into colleges right now. I have a list of a few I’m already interested in but would really like some imput from others based on what I want from my college experience.

I have 3.8 GPA and I’m thinking about majoring in English, Media Communications, or Journalism right now…though I’m actually leaning towards double majoring. I would love to go somewhere with a strong department(s) in any or all of these programs. I have a slight interest in International Relations. My ECs include French Club, Scholastic Challenge, French National Honor Society, Yearbook, the School Newspaper, and Varsity Track. I haven’t taken my SATs or ACTs yet. I would like to go to a college that’s coed and has an average to large student population, that’s also in an urban area (though I don’t mind suburban colleges that you can get to a city easily from). I would like to stay in the US but am open to colleges based in other countries as well (also near metropolitan areas). And finally, a school that provides decent financial aid would be great!

I would really appreciate it that, based off the things I listed, someone could give me advice as to which schools would be a good fit for me. With your recommendations, please include some reach schools as well as some safety schools!
Thanks,
