2100 sat,
I'll be applying re and my teacher reds are friggin stellar! What are my chances?</p>
<p>I am no expert at this, but since no one else has responded, here’s my take. Keep in mind that for Tisch, academics are only half the story. Are you drama, dance, or film, etc? Half the decision is based on your audition or portfolio. Your SAT is higher than my D’s was (she’s in Tisch Drama), and your EC’s are great except I don’t see much that pertains to Tisch, i.e. theatre or music or film club etc. As you know, your GPA is low. Be sure to explain freshman year in your application. I’m not sure what your overall GPA is, but my guess is it is lower than most accepted students. To offset that GPA you would have to have an absolutely awesome audition. Good luck and I hope your brother is okay.</p>
<p>I’ve taken 4 years of advanced media, made 2 award winning short films, have a very popular comedy show on my school bulletin, do standup, and what I’m told is a friggin great radio voice, which Im hoping could help out considering I want to major in tv and radio</p>
<p>Sounds, great, those things were not in your original posting, except for the comedy show. You should audition well then, or have the makings for a film portfolio.
Good luck!</p>
