I'm worried about college?

A 3.6 GPA is decent. So is a 1790. Also, statistics say fewer hispanic student attend college, so you would represent some welcome diversity for most institutions. Keep working on your GPA, and definitely re-take the SAT. Statistically, everyone improves the second time while no one improves after the third try. And if you're less into writing and more into science, try the ACT. Some swear it's actually a better test.

Journalism tends to be less "academic" and more "professional", so check that out some academic majors that will teach writing and research skills, too (like history). You could always major in either history or journalism and minor in art, as well; you don't need to have a photojournalism major, which is pretty specific and might be overly so. Consider a college with a liberal arts curriculum, since liberal arts will round you out better as a student and prepare you for a wide variety of fields, and because those institutions will offer a variety of programmes.

Boston is a great place for attending college; it's unofficially "America's College Town". I went to a nice little college of the liberal arts and sciences on the South Shore in Massachusetts, just south of the city. It was near a beach, had a great reputation for my major (history, actually) and I absolutely loved it there. Here's some info. on all the colleges and universities in Metro Boston (that's Boston proper and the places that border it, where you can get around on the T): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colleges_and_...

I hope this helps! You can always check out my alma mater, as well (it's not super selective, academically quite strong, has an emphasis on good teaching, and you'd certainly get a scholarship there for your current GPA and standardised test scores): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Nazarene_Coll...

Wow, I don't understand what you're worried about, a 3.6 is an excellent GPA! Wow... lol. This question makes me laugh because it's so obvious. You're fine... you'll get into college, and probably a good one at that. A 40 rank is almost like top 10% in your class... well, for my school it would be. :/

It very much depends on what school you are looking at, but you are in a pretty good place with your current standing, it also depends on your college admissions essay (though less so) and that is still entirely in your hands. can you clarify what schools you are talking about, it would make this answer easier. (oh and how did you do on SAT's if you have taken them)
