<p>I'm only a junior. I'm looking to major in film studies and hopefully minor in dance.</p>
<p>A few questions as well: Is it any easier to get into a school if you want to major in a program that's not that popular? I'm not sure how popular Chicago's film program is, but I'm loving the school so far because of it offers a program in dance and is in a great location.</p>
<p>I'm a female from California.</p>
<p>GPA: 3.8 weighted this year, but my previous GPAs have been a little lower, probably around the 3.6 weighted range.</p>
<p>SATs: 590 math, 670 CR, 620 writing.
total: 1880 (this is my first time taking it, I plan to take it once or twice more.)</p>
<p>APs and honors: Honors Bio, Honors English (3 years so far), Honors Chem, AP US History, AP Euro, AP Environmental Science.</p>
<p>ECs:
-written more than 40 pieces of creative fiction, published online
-danced competitively for 5 years with a studio.
-dance team at school which has won first place at a national level.
-co-president of my high school's Literary Magazine Club for two years.
-secretary of a culture club.
-vice president of a Great American Bakesale club, which donates money to feed hungry children. (This club is also my main form of community service, I so far have around 250 hours of community service.)
-tutored Algebra for two years to middle school children.
-won silver place at a regional level for National History Day (for a film).
-NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month, where one attempts to write a novel in a month) for 3 years.
-participated and helped run a major event for Relay for Life.
-certified HAM radio operator.</p>
<p>And this summer I'm either going to the NYU Summer Film Narrative intensive or going to this program in Africa (Tanzania) for community service, depending on if I get into the NYU film school program.</p>
<p>I've taken 3 years of French so far and am hoping to take French 4 Honors or French 5 AP next year.</p>
<p>I know for sure I'm a pretty low applicant for Chicago, but it looks like such a good school. </p>
<p>I'm almost positive that I would apply EA, if that helps. :)</p>
