I want to work in Advertising (Copywriting, to be specific), and also run at a great program. Which College(s) fit these needs the best?

Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University .
EOT.
Maybe UNC, their XC is on the rise, and they have a pretty good communications program.
Thanks so much for your valuable contribution. Does anyone else have any suggestions?
How fast are you? Are you fast enough to run for Oregon, Stanford, Oklahoma State, or are you running 9:40 in the two mile?
How smart are you? Do you have a 2300 on your SAT and a chance to go to an Ivy League school, or do you have a score that could be confused as a two-test score?
Not that any of this information is relevant for what college you should go to or anything but hey, I'm curious.
It looks like these are the top schools for advertising (from
http://www.collegeatlas.org/best-marketing-colleges.html
):
1. Northwestern
2. Penn
3. Stanford
4. Duke
5. Harvard
6. Columbia
7. Cal
8. UChicago
9. Wisconsin
10. NYU
11. Minnesota
12. Michigan
As far as their running programs:
1. Not if you're a dude
2. Ok
3. Obviously very good
4. Solid
5. Ok I think?
6. Solid
7. A lot of talent, not a lot of running fast
8. No
9. Very good
10. No
11. Decent
12. Solid
Thank you, that was exactly what I was looking for. As for your questions, I've run under 9:40 in the 3200, however, I am only a freshman (looking waaaaay early I know). I'm quite intelligent but not a genius, don't know exactly how to quantify it.
Don't go to college to study copywriting. Get the finest education you can and pursue various interests and then get your pick of jobs, maybe even in advertising. My fellow liberal arts graduates did not want for fantastically high-paying jobs in advertising and finance straight out of college, if they pursued that, and neither should you. Those who run our society did not pursue vocational majors.
NYU and UChicago are great options for some people. Both are well established D3 programs, and I know NYU has a recent national championship in XC. I don't understand this forum's obsession with D1. 99.9% of D1 runners don't run professionally, and being the number 5 - 7 guy as a freshman at a D3 and working your way up to being the 1-3 guy by senior year is a lot more fun than being a red shirt freshman, then racing once your sophomore year, racing a few times as a junior, and, if you're lucky, scoring your senior year at a D1. Not to mention, a degree from NYU or UChicago is really prestigious, and means a lot more than a degree from Oregon.
Just to let you know, I looked into it, and whatever site you found this on had BS information. Some of the schools mentioned had no such programs, and if they were, they were graduate.

Yeah I don't know how to quantify it either. If only there were some form of test that was standardized for everyone so we could compare how smart they are.
That list is for marketing, not advertising. Somebody needs to work on proofreading!
Syracuse is #1 or 2 for its public communications school, and near the top for running, too. It's probably the best combination of the 2.
