<p>Hello, I'm a high school Junior looking at emerson
I have a 2.75 uw, 3.45 w currently, but i can bring it up to about a 3.0 plus a 3.8 w or so before or very early in my Senior year
I'm in the IB program
I've taken pretty much all the AP/IB courses I could take.
I havent taken the SAT/ACT/subject tests yet, but I'm very confident I'll do well.
I'm an active writer, was on the high school newspaper, and started my own satirical school newspaper as well. I think my essays, extracurriculars, and recommendations, will be particulary strong and I think my Senior will be my best academically, but whats really weighing me down is my gpa, though i think i can justify it in my essay, seeing that high school for me was pointless busy work, which i tended to avoid...I'm very motivated to pursue a career in writing, possibly journalism or scriptwriting/filmmaking....So what do I need to do to improve my shot at here? I know I need to comensate for my low gpa but will that put me completely out of chances for getting in??</p>
