I am not exactly sure what angle you are aiming for with “professional” writing as it can span so much, but in light of this, I’m going to left field from other suggestions here and say do the NPC at NYU to see if it’s affordable - they now meet need but as we know, meeting need means different things to different colleges. They have a test flexible policy which allows you to submit AP scores across 3 subject areas instead of your SAT (or you could go TO but if you have the right range of 5s no reason to do that). I am not sure tbh if the English department offers the writing emphasis what you want but have a look at the journalism offering. It’s very strong on internships. You are also required to double major if you do journalism so you could definitely do political science there. I know this isn’t quite the angle you asked, but it was what sprung to mind when I saw “professional writing..internships”. They don’t do EA so you would be looking at RD deadlines, btw.
