<p>Hi. I need to start to decide what colleges I want to apply to. I know I want to major in something like International Relations and put an emphasis in Chinese, if you can do that. I don’t have to do International Relations, but I definitely want to do something with Chinese. I have average grades, but I went to Startalk last year and plan to go again. Also, This August, I am going to travel to China for an academic year on a scholarship. I live in Utah, and prefer to stay in Utah, but I might not. If you have any suggestions for colleges I might want to look at, please tell me! I am in desperate need of help.</p>
