If you’re not sure you definitely want to go into subject a, b, c, I would caution you about entering into a program in which you will have to study that. A lot of your preferences will change in college, and you will find other subjects that interest you also (besides what you’re currently interested in).

Granted I know nothing about Newhouse and it’s flexibility, but it doesn’t seem like you will have much once you enter the program. Given that, I would choose a school (Wellesley or otherwise) where you will be given the option to explore a variety of areas. However, Wellesley does not have communications, so that may deter from Wellesley…

Wellesley is good for a person who has academics as a main priority. That does not mean everyone is in the library 24/7, but it also does not mean there are parties here every night. You have to find your own balance, but from what you’ve said, you seem like a good fit for Wellesley’s social/academic climate.
