gpa: uw 3.37 & w 4.19 (only a sophomore, i take all ap’s and im overwhelmed w my classes so next semester im going to take 1-2 less ap classes for the sake of my gpa)

i havent taken sat or act but i did get a 1200/1440 on my psat this yr

i also am taking ap drawing rn, have been working on technical and conceptual pieces a lot and want to learn how to do graphic design and use adobe

@ratgirl DMA is a great program and is very difficult to get into (I think they only accept 40-50 people/year). I would highly encourage you to get into UCLA/DMA summer program. It’s a 2-week summer program that gives you a great exposure to what DMA @ UCLA is all about. I think the applications for it become available in November.
