College Profile: Chestnut Hill College

I like Columbia, but I feel as though it is missing something. Where should I go to college? I am considering ITT Tech and Chestnut Hill College. Do I have any other options?

Harvard, Stanford, Yale (yay!) and MIT are superior in terms of rank but Columbia is a very respectable school.

I'm deciding on either attending Arcadia University, Temple University, or Chestnut Hill College. Can someone tell me which of these school is a good school for a business major and which is a better school out of the three just in general. Thanks!

Temple is best for business, FOX School of Business in in top 50 nationwide and has a 100% job placement rate, also Temple is known throughout the Northeast so being anywhere from D.C. to Boston your school will be known. Temple has nice, generally new or renovated facilities, and is very diverse. While its surrounding area gets a bad rep, crime around it is no worse than areas around N.Y.U. ,Colombia, or John Hopkins, if you go here you won't regret it.

jus to clarify my last question...i am at what is called an accelerated school, where i recieve more credits than other schools so even tho i have a 0.4 gpa i will still be graduating on time because i now make straight As and i have a 1420 SAT score now do you think i have a chance to get into Chestnut Hill College???

Just to Clarify. The majority of Universities, including Chestnut Hill do not recognize Weighted GPA's (this is because school systems vary, so, they expect that everyone who has applied is in an accelerated AP or University level high school programs and thus to not make an adjustment for difficulty of program.

Here are the High School Class Ranking and UNWEIGHTED GPA Statistics of the 2010/2011 Admitted Freshmen at Chestnut Hill College:
7% in top 10th of graduating class
28% in top quarter of graduating class
62% in top half of graduating class
10% had h.s. GPA of 3.75 and higher
18% had h.s. GPA between 3.5 and 3.74
13% had h.s. GPA between 3.25 and 3.49
24% had h.s. GPA between 3.0 and 3.24
24% had h.s. GPA between 2.5 and 2.99
11% had h.s. GPA between 2.0 and 2.49

It depends on the university you're applying to. Some don't have one. And sometimes you only see the optional "essay questions" when you're applying.
You can go to the application, and click on the printable application. On there you can see the essay topics. Best of luck.
You're not dumb for asking questions! I'm gonna see if I can find the essays for these universities.

*Edit*
You're gonna have to make an account for CUA.

Don't mistake with Boston University. I'm talking about Boston College in Chestnut Hill. I had horrendous grades my first 3 years of high school like C-D range, but my senior year I did very well made high honors with a GPA of 3.75 I didn't take SATs, also have no community service hours. I have the money, most colleges only look for that lol. Hoping so with this one! I am just asking for opinions before I even bother applying.

Ask yourself why they should choose a student with "horrendous" grades in the first three years of high school (the only grades they consider), when they have plenty of students to consider who have performed well throughout High School.

Attend a modest college. If you're as good as you think you are you can apply to a superior graduate school after finishing undergrad.

Hey, i"m applying for colleges soon and I would love to major in journalism. What are some good journalism programs I should apply to? I have a 3.89 GPA and am an officer in many major clubs and organizations. I also have lots of community service. Thanks!

Good GPA, good work.

There are many routes to become a Journalist. I have a friend who was a Communications/ Journalism major, and even studied for her Master's degree, but ultimately didn't decide to pursue that career. (She went to Med School instead, and is a Physician) What's important in Journalism is that you do a good internship and impress the people you're working for. You also may need (especially early in your career) to work a bunch of small jobs before you get offered that good paying union job with a big city newspaper. Whether writing articles for a small paper, or doing some online journalism, there are many ways to get a young career going.

Finally, some schools offer Journalism majors, other Mass Communications with a Journalism track, and others English. Ultimately, your internship will matter much more than your major, because that will be work-training, where your major will improve your writing and critical thinking skills. (both important if you want to be a good journalist) Writing for your school's newspaper is, of course, a must.

Small Liberal Arts Colleges (Many Journalists go to such small college, as they're often quirky, one school may fit your personality perfectly, and another may not work for you at all)
Swarthmore College
Haverford College
St. John's College (Anapolis)
Juniata College
Chestnut Hill College
U.S. Naval Academy (has an English major, you can write for a military paper to get your first experience too)
Ursinus College

Private Universities (though you may be taught by a T.A, these still have a great reputation)
Penn
Princeton
Villanova
Duquesne
St. Joseph's
Notre Dame

Public Universities (cheaper, but still a good education... internship is a KEY)
Penn State University
Temple University
University of Maryland
Pitt
University of Massachusetts

ps. Obviously any programs mentioned are influenced by personal experiences, location of the suggester, etc... Journalism is often a career where you make your own name, so very often it doesn't matter where you earned that B.S, or even if you have the professional Master of Journalism degree... but what you do with your internship, your first jobs, and how hard you work and promote your own hard work.

I am considering coming to Boston College from the midwest next year. I was looking for a review of the overall experience from someone who went there.

You'll feel like you never left the midwest.

The place is basically a giant Abercrombie ad; it's filled with friendly, good-looking, generally monied people who are not from New England... but wanted to go to a highly-respected university in New England (which BC is)... but couldn't get into an Ivy.

Know that BC is a fairly long green-line train ride (about 40 minutes) from Boston, and that the cost of living in the immediate Newton / Chestnut Hill area is mighty high, but the suburbs between Boston and BC offer lots of options. Also know that the BC campus is run by a very conservative administration, and most of the students could reasonably be classified conservative as well. Though they do like to drink.

Good luck!
