<p>Seems solid so far but realize that a lot can change in just two years. There ARE colleges outside of the Ivy League that can provide a similar education. So, if anything, I’d recommend you broaden your college search especially since you’re starting to think about this early.</p>

<p>Thank you very much! Yeah, I definitely have other colleges I wish to consider as well. (UF, Miami, ect)</p>

<p>I would highly appreciate other ideas and suggestions on how to improve my odds!</p>

8

<p>I’m am still eager for responses! :D</p>

<p>You could do more theater-related activities (perhaps at your school?) to show your genuine interest in and dedication to theater. Always helps to have more leadership roles too! :)</p>

10

<p>Thank you! I appreciate the feedback!</p>

11

<p>You’re on track. Don’t forget that you have a hook as you are an URM. Study for the SAT over the summer and MUN is worth noting.</p>

12

<p>Very good tips! Yeah, I am thankful that I have a hook like that, being a URM. I am also a first generation(parents didn’t go to college), which I also believe is a hook. Now, when exactly do you take the SAT? I will be taking the PSAT next year, and I will still need to take the SAT and SAT II tests, though I don’t know when to do what.</p>

13

<p>Anyone know when to take which tests?</p>
