<p>and if not, is there anything I can do to get in? I am a senior in High School and go to a competitive private high school.
Here are my credentials</p>
<p>Composite SAT: 1640
Math: 430 Reading: 680 Writing: 530
but I plan on retaking it as I've been working on the math,
and I believe I've got it up to at least 600.
which would bring my SAT up to around 1800,
hopefully 1900-2000. but you never really know.</p>
<p>GPA as of my first quarter of senior year: 2.917
I've taken AP World History, I got a 3 on the AP test.</p>
<p>Extracurriculars/achievements:
Academic Decathlon for two years, the first year my team was the state champion.
and medaled at the state level in multiple catagories.
Drum Major
first chair string-bassist
section leader for first tenors
choral conductor
band conductor
lead musical roles
Arts and Communication academy leader
School's theater technical director for two years
participated in a community men's chorus
Accepted to the All-State Honor Choir
Participated in the local Honor Band for 2 years consecutively
President of the performing arts club
invited to play carnegie hall with school band.
I have many years of experience on violin, double-bass and guitar.
I play piano and compose orchestral works and stage songs.</p>
<p>volunteer work:
volunteered time restoring a local historical theater, helping to clean up the old theater, as it fell in to disrepair after many years of disuse. I also volunteered at a local science museum. I spent over 150+ hours volunteering. I led tours as well as ushered shows and was occasionally a cashier.</p>
<p>I know my GPA is very weak, but I feel that I can make up for it. I also feel that because Steinhardt MusicEd. majors are required to audition that some of my admission will be based on that, though I am not excusing my gpa, or saying that everything else makes up for it.</p>
<p>if any more info is needed, just ask.
thank you for your time!</p>
