Welp after visiting a bunch of schools over the past week, hearing many presentations, having one on one meetings, and doing my own research it's safe to say I've come to 3 conclusions:
1. There's not nearly as much money in communications as there is in business, so I'm no longer exploring the option of majoring in something in communications, partly because of what I learned and partly because my parents think its a bad idea now and I got the talk about the real world and how I need a real major to make money so it looks like ill be going into business administration, or maybe marketing and management
2. Ill apply to 4 or 5 schools but if I'm being honest and realistic with myself there's only two options: U of I Champaign-Urbana or DePaul
3. I'm completely overwhelmed
EDIT- I'm starting a college thread in the bar for this so that others (pretty much clone) can be in the discussion so I learn more
