<p>As a quick preface, I am very ill junior-going-on-senior with a rather critical illness that has impaired me quite a bit--both physically and cognitively. It's been rough to get through school--but I'm trying pretty hard to make it through next year. </p>
<p>I'd really like to get into NYU Tisch School of the Arts for dramatic writing or Yale's theater studies program.</p>
<p>So, here we go with stats and ECs:
(I'm new to this website, so tell me if I'm doing anything terribly wrong)</p>
<p>SAT:
Math - 660 (I know, I know--math is my weakness)
CR: 750
Writing: 760
GPA: Somewhere along the lines of 3.85ish unweighted, and they (meaning the guidance department at school) never told me my weighted grade--probably somewhere along 4.3-4.5? I haven't a clue.
APs: AP Language and Composition, AP Music Theory, AP Studio Art (All for junior year)
IB: N/A
Awards: These are kind of telling as to who I am...ahh well. Let's just say I've won a lot of playwriting competitions, including making the finals (top 4%) in a national competition, as well as awards for that play's technical set and costume design in a statewide theater festival. </p>
<p>Extracurriculars/Volunteering:</p>
<p>-Junior year independent study I wrote the first student-written play (Flash Notes) to ever be put on at my high school, also assistant directed, designed the costumes and the set, and composed the music
- It is likely that this play will also soon be performed off-Broadway in New York City, which is really exciting
- I've written a lot of plays, including a full-score musical (so music composition as well)
- Art school program
- Tutoring blind children--I read Braille
- I'm trying to get a book published soon--it's coming along
- Volunteer theater set design for the local middle schools</p>
<p>So what do you say? I'm quite nervous for the college application process next year. </p>
<p>Really, REALLY nervous.</p>
