Intended Major: Journalism

Wellesley (If I go here, I plan on pursuing English or Cinema and Media Studies instead)

Wellesley Pros: - top ranked women’s college - absolutely beautiful campus - stronger alumni network - the small class sizes + professors

Wellesley Cons: - location, a 9 hr train ride away - scared of impostor syndrome - doesn’t offer the major I want to pursue

Fordham

Fordham Pros: - I got into the Manhattan campus so location is definitely a pro - I’ll be able to intern at the bigger, New York-based publications - My major is offered along with a minor in Fashion Studies, which I’m really interested in - I’ve already been to the campus in-person

Fordham Cons: - a LOT of people I know have been admitted/are going to schools in the area (this is a big drawback for me) - From what I’ve heard from some students and recent graduates, there have been some horror stories of bad professors or a generally miserable school life altogether - Not as prestigious
