<p>My hooks are that I am from a lower class family, a single mother, and am a first generation college applicant.
Also, if you think that my ec’s are weak please give advice on what you think I could do to strengthen them. </p>

<p>The schools that I am considering are:

  1. George Washington
  2. Emory
  3. NYU
  4. KU (as a safety)
  5. U. of Pittsburgh or Boston U. (can’t decide which)
  6. UVA, Wake Forest, or U. of Chicago</p>

<p>Are there any others that I should consider, that are possible for me to get accepted to?</p>

2

<p>Holy Cross, one hour west of Boston</p>

3

<p>Considering my stats, minus the ACT/SAT, what are some good colleges, near large or in large cities that have good programs in econ/poli sci?</p>

4

<p>Rhodes is in Memphis (within a day’s drive of Topeka). Good econ and poli sci. GPA and class rank are a match.</p>

5

<p>EMORY has a great political science department!!! Glad you’re considering it. I would also suggest going on the department website for schools that interest you and looking at the courses and faculty.</p>
