<p>Hello!
So, I have a general ‘list’ of where I would like to apply; however, I just wanted a third party’s opinion on what would be a good fit for me:
My intended major would be economics and foreign languages
My GPA is a 4.00 (I take honors and AP courses but I do not know what my weighted avg is)
I have yet to take an SAT or ACT
I go to a prevalent private high school in the DC area (and I am so grateful for it, just by the way)
I am crazy in most senses of the word, but I do like people and the like
I would like a medium-sized uni (5000-15000 people, por favor)
I take Latin and Spanish right now, and am trying to take french 1 over the summer as a beta
Thanks!</p>

<p>There must be over 100 universities in that range that offer economics and at least 1 foreign language as majors. Do you have any other preferences? For example:
- location (N/S/E/W)
- setting (urban/rural/small town)
- social atmosphere (intellectual? big Greek/D1 sports/party scene?)</p>
<p>Have you taken the PSATs? Do you have any idea what SAT scores to expect?</p>
<p>What’s your budget? Is your family able and willing to pay the high cost of a private or out-of-state public school ($35K - $60K per year)? If not, have you considered whether you’ll qualify for enough financial aid? You should keep in mind that if you are a DC resident, you may qualify for tuition breaks at many schools.

<p>If you’re interested in International Relations and your SATs add up to 2100 or higher, and your extracurriculars are strong, then you might want to check out Georgetown or Johns Hopkins. These will be “reach” schools even with good scores. If your qualifications are a little less competitive (or as “match” choices), consider American and George Washington. These are a few schools in the Baltimore-Washington area you might want to visit. UMD-CP is larger, but with lower sticker prices.</p>
