<p>I'm applying to NYU Gallatin, Fordham, and maybe Columbia GS (BIG MAYBE)</p>

<p>I want Gallatin. Badly.</p>

<p>I'm a caucasian female, and I'm 20.
I'm supposed to be a junior this year, but I'm taking the year off. </p>

<p>I've applied to Tisch twice, and was rejected twice, so that worries me, but I'm a completely changed person now, and obviously going an alternative route by applying to Gallatin. I think I make it clear in my essays that I am NOT going just to take class at Tisch. I want to study academic subjects that truly interest me while pursuing an individualized major I CARE about...I don't just want to get a degree in psychology when I know that's not what I want to do with my life. PLUS my essays were like, retarded back then because I thought it was all based on the audition. </p>

<p>I'm on a very... different path than most, and I hope that makes me stand out at Gallatin. I went to CU Boulder my freshman Year, to a crappy school in NY my second year, and now I'm taking a year off of school (graduated HS in 06). I've been interning (3 great internships--NY Musical Theatre Festival, Off-Broadway show, and a talent agency), performing in shows (Off-Broadway & benefits),working(Broadway Merch), and taking classes since 8/08. </p>

<p>I've never been an amazing academic performer, but I am a good student, if that makes any sense...I like to learn. I'm a pretty good writer, so I think my essays are all fine. </p>

<p>My recs are from a writing teacher at my second college, and my advisor and history teacher in high school...and they both love me, so those should be awesome.</p>

<p>As for Columbia, my brother just graduated from there, so that's my legacy...worth applying to GS?</p>

<p>anyway... here are my boring stats:</p>

<p>HS type: very small, private, one of the best in San Francisco
HS GPA: 3.3 (all honors classes, or something, it was one of those "alternative" high schools...we didn't see our grades until senior year when we were applying to college)
SATS: Math 610 Reading 630 Writing 670
College 1 GPA: 3.5
College 2 GPA: 3.6</p>

<p>that's what it's all about! <em>clap!</em></p>

<p>it might worry some that you have been flip flopping so much, the HS GPA is a bit low… but we would need to see it weighed.
NYU might be a little bit of a reach</p>
