Can you guys suggest some schools that have good theatre departments but are well rounded in other majors, like poli sci or journalism?

Didn’t see Northwestern on the list, but I’d consider it if you are in range stat-wise. You can google lots of similar lists to get other ideas that might be in keeping with your stats and other criteria.
Ithaca College is renowned for both its theatre department and its school of communications (where its journalism major is housed) so you should definitely check it out!
When schools have a big time theater department I would be sure to check if non-theater majors can participate in prosecutions etc.
Not knowing your stats it is hard to give thoughts on schools.
