Jr. w/ A- stats + high rigor seeking non-elite options for growth/challenge

So CU Boulder is a safety. ASU is a safety. Great for journalism. U of A might be better for film.

U of Miami is a reach.

If she’s 97% psat, I’d take the sat again. Or both.

If you want inexpensive and solid for these fields - an Alabama or for film maybe a UNCW. Smaller would be DU (denver) and you’d get merit.

In these majors, prestige is of little importance.

There’s lots of far less than $60k schools out there that would work vs having to go to a Syracuse at full pop etc. Indiana would be another solid but large school. But there’s a lot that could work here. I’d check WUE.

Good luck.
