Then, I met a guy through a teacher I know who works in the film industry and how he kept my dream alive. (the essay prompt was "tell us about someone who inspired you and how" or something to that extent.

<li>Hooks?
First year college student. Also I'm talented in art (drawing and photography) but since I applied as undecided, I didn't get a chance to show them my portfolio I'm making in my 2 AP art classes. Also, I managed to meet people in Ohio that work in the film industry which I think is cool. Shows I know how to network.</li>
</ol>

<p>9.School Applied to:
I applied undecided to all of my college because I didn't want to be denied from that program, and not get accepted to the school at all. </p>

<p>I think you have great chances for NYU and Loyola… CA schools are always difficult if you’re OOS but I think you have a good chance for Southern Cal. I’d say UCLA is definitely more of a “reach” but it’s not impossible by any means. </p>

<p>I forgot to mention a few things.

  1. Class rank: top 10%
  2. My high school is pretty competitive. In 2011, we were ranked #5 public high school in state of Ohio.
  3. Recommendation Letters:
    -One from my art teacher. She loves me, her letter was very positive.
    -One from my spanish III teacher. I aided for her and helped her on a curriculum project she had. Were practically friends, and her letter expressed how much I helped her.</p>

<p>Thanks guys again! I’d love to see more opinions.</p>
