School recomendationsAnswered
Hi!
I'm a senior in high school looking for public university or community college recommendations. I plan to major in psychology and get a bachelors degree. I have a 3.9 GPA and a 20 ACT score. I reside in North Carolina but I'm willing to go to Mississippi schools as well. I am an exceptional cheerleader and I plan to cheer in college. I'm looking for schools that give academic and sports scholarships.
