<p>My Freshman year was a special circumstance. I go to a rigorous private school but unfortunately got really sick with an illness that kept me incapacitated (and on most days, in the hospital).

<p>Is there anything I should add / take out?</p>

2

<p>You’re going to be very competitive at all of your schools. Be sure to include the total number of service hours completed during high school, and be sure to explain about your illness in the personal statement.</p>

3

<p>yeah agree with agc, you are very competitive! I think you should add some intern jobs and research experiences if any.</p>

4

<p>oh god.</p>

<p>im going against you for RISD?</p>

<p>…</p>

<p>RISD likes high grades, but it really depends on the art you can produce.
Brown, you’re definitely going to be one of those to beat. (GO for the Brown RISD dual program i say)
All the others you should find yourself accepted.</p>

5

<p>Stanford is the only high reach I can see there… Some reaches, but you should get into a couple… pure speculation at this point though… a lot depends of essays</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Thanks guys!</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I’m definitely going for that program. XD Good luck to you with RISD!</p>

7

<p>*** you got an F in health??</p>

8

<p>

Yeah, my illness kept me from attending most of the classes and since this was a [first] semester class, I wasn’t able to catch up. That, and the teacher didn’t exactly like me. :P</p>

9

<p>I’m definitely going for that program. XD Good luck to you with RISD! </p>

<p>hahah party it up Brown/RISD style! woop woop! my friend is applying to the dual program also. I want to do architecture, so they wont allow you to dual. I’ll be wasting away in the studio. Yay me!</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Ahh it’s so hard to get in. Only 15 students~ X____X. Apply for it anyways, you never know! XD
It’s definitely worth it though, even if it’s an extra year and extremely rigorous.</p>
