I'm looking at schools that have major programs in journalism and/or political science and/or computer science. Further, I want the big city experience with mid- to full-level danger.
My desire is to get into a place back home in NYC. There, I'm looking at Columbia and St. John's. I ask about Philly because, as kb pointed out, I don't want to put all my hopes in one or two places. Though it might be fun to re-enact "Orange County", especially if I get to hang out with Jack Black, but I digress.
I want a big, notable city, Eastern US. Philly has a mountain range between it and Pittsburgh, which is a plus. The general plan is to start the college search in NYC and radiate out until I hit Pittsburgh. University of Pittsburgh and Duquesne University are the final fallbacks.
