<p>-resides in FL, class of 2012
-Female
-African American/Haitian American
-Lower class income so need financial aid
-GPA: 3.04 unwghted 4.30 wghted. SAT: 1720+ ACT: not yet but prob 27
-Other notes: First attended a magnet school for 2yrs in health academy. then transfered for 1 yr(where I will continue onto 2) to a dual enrollment school where minimum of 3.0unwightd is required, therefore my class rank is low because its extremely competitive. However, I've accumulated 30 college credits thus far from taking 12 college courses. 3.0 college GPA. I've taken maybe 10 honors and 2 APs and 12 college courses thus far in high school.
-100 cc hours at Theaters and film festival,

<p>-I want to throw in that for as long as I can remember my family and I collect clothes and toys every year and send to Haiti.
-I am really good at tapping into peoples feelings and minds when writing essays so I'm not worried on that part.</p>

<p>I want to major in Theater. Specifically, Acting. BFA or BA.</p>

<p>Nyu maybe but with that GPA and sat it will be very tough for Yale and Penn. If you can improve them you may have a good chance.</p>

<p>at NYU you will need to audition to be admitted to Tisch for Drama. They only offer a BFA. </p>
