Chance for Park School/Ithaca

Applying to College
1

<p>So first let me say that I put marketing communications as my major</p>

<p>stats:</p>

<p>GPA 2.8 UW (I know, I know. Affected by unmedicated ADD and father's terminal cancer diagnosis)
Have taken AP's, scored 4's
SAT: 760 CR, 710 W 580 M (2050)
EXCELLENT letters of recommendation
Took comm. college classes during Jr year, made 3.7 GPA and on Dean's List over both quarters.
I am biracial (hispanic and white) and go to a public school where the average gpa is 3.25</p>

<p>I've had a lot of success in student film, I've won 10+ awards in state, national and international festivals including 1st and 2nd place at a national college festival, official selection of Seattle International Film Festival and National Film Festival for Talented Youth and 2 Northwest Emmy Nominations. </p>

<p>I also have interned at Seattle Intl Film Festival for 2 years and founded and run a youth film committee of 23 other kids there. </p>

<p>I am copy editor of my school newspaper and have done very well in DECA, placing at state for 2 years in a row and I've created an ad campaign used by Seattle Public Utilities. </p>

<p>My essays are also very strong. I know it's a long shot.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Hey,
I hope you are still motivated and actively seeking college. I just wanted to say that your scores are awesome and that your family situation will be taken into account to explain the low GPA.</p>

<p>You will definitely want to come up with a list, not jusy a couple of schools. Your leadership and ECs are fantastic. Good luck!</p>
