Here are my list of college choices that I'm so far 100% applying to.
Point Park University (Pittsburgh, PA)
University of Minnesota – Twin Cities (Main) (Minneapolis, MN)
University of Miami (Miami, FL)
St. Cloud State University (St. Cloud, MN)
Penn State University – University Park (Main) (University Park, PA)
Boston University (Boston, MA)
University of Texas – Austin (Main) (Austin, TX)
University of Wisconsin – Madison (Main) (Madison, WI)
Misericordia University (Wilkes Barre, PA)
Ryerson University (Toronto, Ontario)
I live in Pennsylvania, I am currently an incoming senior in high school and I have been looking ahead to my future a lot so far. I would like to go to college to triple major in journalism, broadcasting, and history. Then I would like to become a sports broadcaster or sports journalist (preferably for hockey, but I don't care). I know it's best to go to college in a big metropolitan city that is pretty sports oriented if I want to one-day work in sports, that's why Pittsburgh is the top city in my list. Counting my grades, SAT scores (when they improve), extracurricular activities, experience, etc, do you think I can get in to any of these Universities?

I used to volunteer at an after school day care for kids 8th grade and down. Helping them with homework, playing games, and giving them snack.
Now I am a member of the Lady's Auxiliary at my towns local fire hall and I volunteer there.
The extra-curricular activities I am involved in are SADD Club, Wrestling Team, Wrestling Team Student Athletic Trainer, Church Softball Team, and Youth Group. Next year I might be involved in Youth Group. I am also a sports reporter for my high school's newspaper, The Rocket Star and I have my own sports column called Player of the Month. I have been chosen to be the Sports Editor for my senior year (next year).
Finally, during my junior (this year) and senior year of high school I have a student internship with WOYK 1350, a sports radio-broadcasting network, for both the football and basketball seasons. I will go to all my school's home and away game, collect stats, call in stats, and broadcast the game I reviewed on live radio.
Answer by Jessie
To be honest, journalism is a terrible career field to get into at the moment. But I guess you can still try if you want.
You can get into Ryerson Uni(:
I live one city away from it so naturally I applied there for Journalism as well and got in but I rejected the offer since its a risky field. I'm not sure about the other universities since I live in Canada but, for sure, you can get into Ryerson with those okay/good grades & extra-curricular activities. Just so you know, they'll ask you to hand in a few news articles or other type of writing you've written (essays don't count) so have those handy.
What do you think? Answer below!
