<p>I want to work at Pixar and advance the field of computer graphics and visualization</p>
<p>thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Your courses and grades are fine and assuming your test scores put you in range, then I guessing that it depends on what you’ve achieved in graphics and animation, your essays and what your recommendations say about your accomplishments and uniqueness. Founding a computer club and supporting other clubs isn’t by itself sufficient. Your EC are otherwise average so they aren’t going to differentiate you-unless you have some state or national level awards as a result of your participation. I’m also guessing, based on the number of AP courses you are taking, that you are in a school with a very high percentage of academically capable and competitive students, so hopefully those ‘major skills’ of yours are being used to do something really creative and noteworthy. This isn’t meant to be discouraging-just to say that you have some work to do if you want to stand out.</p>
<p>Imagine sitting down and having to read thousands of applications. Wouldn’t a good essay make you happy and want to admit the author of it?</p>
<p>i’ve actually been working on essays, to be honest i went from that nobody in the corner of the class in middle school (D’s, F’s, frequent counselor meetings and remedial classes, frequent bullying and such) to someone whom even top students ask me for help for i.e. can you help me with my project so could i write something about that in my essay, going from the absolute lowest to such a high point?</p>
<p>if u consider that as a high point…</p>
