Hi! I am a high school senior and I am currently looking to apply to schools for business, particularly for marketing. I have at 3.5 unweighted gpa (My school doesn’t weigh) and a 26 on the ACT’s (I am a HORRIBLE test taker). I will be graduating from one of the top five schools in the US and I am taking 3 AP Classes and 1 IB (2 year) class this year. Here are some of the schools I am looking at:
NYU (Stern…which may be a stretch)
Fordham Lincoln Center
Baruch (Maybe Honors program)
Boston University
Northeastern
The New School
I wanted to know what the probability of me getting into these school is.
I also dance professionally since the age of 11 and dance with one of the leading dance companies in NYC. I train about 35 hours a week at dance and have been doing it for 15 years. I have a a paid internship with a 6 million dollar startup company working in Marketing and Social Media. I was the marketing manager/social media coordinator for a student short film I co-produced which raised over $900. I have an internship at Broadway Dance Center in NYC working in Marketing and Public Relations. Lastly, I am the Marketing and Advertising coordinator for my schools student theater company. Given all the extra things that I do, does this increase my chances of being accepted into these schools although my gpa is low?
