<p>Will you be a drama major? If so, have you had your audition?</p>

<p>Oh no haha I’m actually applying to the Annenberg school of journalism :slight_smile: (I want to become a broadcast journalist) I want to minor in Musical Theater though and I believe auditions for that aren’t until later.</p>

<p>Does my SAT and ACT make me basically a denial right away?</p>

<p>Congrats on becoming a quest bridge finalist! I don’t think anyone can tell you unless they are familiar with the quest bridge program. Is there a thread where you can see the quest bridge stats from the past year or two? Maybe someone will bump that up?</p>
