</ul>

--- For the project I'm the sole web developer for the website on which the documentary will also be posted.</p>

<p>Essays: I have 1 kind of unique and one really unique (as in only ~30-60 other people might write about it) essay that'll be insane.</p>

<p>Colleges (Major: Journalism / International Relations):
- UF (Incredible reach, probably no chance.)
- UCF
- FSU
- USF
- University of Chicago (why not).
- NYU (kind of want to go there).
- University of Southern California (really, really high reach).</p>

<p>I'm retaking the ACT & SAT at the next available test date. I'll actually study, and get at least a 2100 on the SAT and a 30 on the ACT (I'm just missing a few concepts and need a little daydreaming / pacing practice). I have low volunteer hours / ECs as I didn't have a car until last February, which is why my hours are low (and why so many ECs of mine were done at home).</p>

<p>Thanks! :D</p>

<p>Bump.</p>

<p>Should also note that my class rank is 15% (well 14.1% but I’m in the top 15% out of a class size of 269 (ehhhh…)).</p>

<p>FSU-in
UCF-in
USF-in</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply! I’ll be working like crazy this year to keep everything top notch (from grades to ECs). I’ve been maintaining contact with FSU, most likely to the point that they’re annoyed now haha.</p>

<p>If anyone else has any opinions, chime in.</p>
