I plan to go to college for communications (or anything relating to communications, specifically for sports broadcasting). I need an area that has a good program to eventually work for a major sports company (NFL, MLB, NBA, WWE, UFC, ESPN, etc.). I have no idea where to look. Furthermore, I currently wrestle, and would like to continue in college. I am a girl, so it is very difficult to find an opportunity. I also need to factor in which colleges would think about admitting me. So here are a few of my stats:
GPA: 4.4 weighted
SAT (Gonna redo it): 1200
EC's:
- Key Club 4 years (2 years as president)
- Theater 2 years
- Student Council 3 years
- Hope Squad 2 years
- Upward Bound 3 years
- Yearbook 4 years
- AV 2 years (By graduation, I would have 2 years of experience working with live production. I do live broadcasts of the sports games for my school). (We work with professional equipment, equipment major sports companies use).
- Flag Football 2 years
- Wrestling 3 years 2 years captain (1x District Qualifier, 1x freestyle FARGO qualifier). (This is my priority when looking at colleges, I need them to have a girl's wrestling team).
I have a part-time job, lower-middle class, first-generation, Puerto Rican (and ginger if that does anything), I have a real drive for wrestling and broadcasting, I put those 2 things above all else, and I'm already decent at both.
Any advice helps, I don't know where to go from here and time is running lower and lower. Also, if anyone knows of any scholarships that align with me, that would be helpful.
i would say any big public university like big10 or sec schools would be good for sports broadcasting in general because they have big sports team themselves. penn state is a good one but any big10 or sec school would be fine, and because they are bigger schools they most likely have girls wrestling teams.
I also really like sports broadcasting and management, I'm only an incoming Junior but my top is Penn St. They have a great program and also have a lot of alumni connections that help people get good jobs in the field
