I idealy I want to go to the University of Utah in Salt Lake, but my other options is West Minister, I was wondering if my grades are good enough to get in or if you have other suggestions, I really want to have extremely close mountains so keep that in mind, also I want to live in campus housing, no comuter colleges (i.e. utah vally)

grades look like this (in my junior year)

Math (Algerbra 2) : b/b-      Forensics/Marine Biology:  B-       Spanish 3: D (I suck)              Economics:  A+        American Studies (considered as AP, says the guidance, but their idiots):    B-   Journalism:  B+     

so just wondering how it looks and to get opinions.

you cant really tell from 1 semester of grades.
you can always look at SLCC(salt lake community college) if all else fails.
and by the way, u of u is technically a commuter college as well

Westminster is a more expensive option, but the grants and scholarships they give make it easier. You only need a 3.0 to keep your financial aid. But yeh definitely don't blow it on your standardized tests, and you will get into both.
The U will prolly have cheaper on campus housing and more of a college life than Westminster...it's just a shit ton bigger.

slcc would be cheapest but i dont kno about dorms and the U is about 1/4 the price of westminster... all 3 are within 45 from most resorts about half hour to alta snowbird solitude or brighton..
