Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Everyone does one of these...figured I'd gather some of your opinions.</p>

<p>At community college, will transfer in fall.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.63. Will be able to get it up to a 3.76 by the end of this semester (it's low ONLY because I got a C in an acting class last year...and a B in another non-academic class. I got the C because I didn't turn in a little hw in the end. otherwise, I'm straight A's)</p>

<p>Right now I'm taking: psychology, archaeology, history of technology, ecology, and stage makeup. Have 100% or near to it like all of them, and these are hard classes.
I've taken statistics, geography, and theater related courses as well. (last school year was more of a gap year, so not too many academic ones)</p>

<p>Phi Beta Kappa member.</p>

<p>I should have good recommendations... I've never liked my past college essays, but hopefully I can write a good one this time.</p>

<p>ACT: 32. </p>

<p>In high school, I had a 3.33 gpa and took AP Lang, Lit, and Bio. Grades were a bit of a roller-coaster..I'm a good student, I just gave up during junior year so they dipped, but I worked them up a bit during senior year.</p>

<p>In high school I was in all of the school shows. In college, I've been in one so far (didn't go to school last spring, parents didn't let me do a show last fall..., missed auditions for the summer show)
I've taken many acting and dance and voice classes over the years.<br>
Last spring I was a hostess at a restaurant and a receptionist/assistant manager for a spa. i don't work anymore, but want to start petsitting soon, and maybe ushering at a theater. In high school, I ushered at a theater and helped my mom out in a summer camp thing she did.
I participated in various clubs in high school - improv (president senior year), lit mag, gsa. I used to ride horses and play the piano, mainly before high school.<br>
At college, I'm in a theatre group/club.</p>

<p>I'm down to earth and creative... Many comment that I'm not like most people. I participate a lot in class and activities. I enjoy learning and work hard... </p>

<p>I want to study acting and creative writing. </p>

<p>A very inconclusive Schools of Interest list:</p>

<p>Bard College
Sarah Lawrence
Vassar
^will likely apply to these 3</p>

<p>Pomona
Occidental
Wesleyan?
Kenyon
Other california schools - UCLA, san diego?
Skidmore
i really don't know... </p>

<p>Thoughts on any of these schools and other suggestions are appreciated.</p>

<p>I don’t know… it’s hard to say for each school although I have been informed it is much harder to tranfer, especially from community college. I would look at their transfer admittance rate and talk to the counselor who does this at each school. Good luck. Chance me back?</p>

<p>Pomona, UCLA and Wesleyan are very likely to be far out of reach with the info you provided. You are probably fine at the others.</p>

<p>You are not likely to get in to a highly selective school both based on your stats and their transfer policies. Look for more of a somewhat competitive place with higher rates of attrition, like Whittier, if you like CA. Very nice school with some very good features and opportunities. Consider also the Colleges that Change Lives - google that for the list and the website.</p>

<p>Sarah Lawrence-Match
Bard-Semi-Reach
Vassar-Reach
Pomona-High Reach
Occidental-Match/Safe
Wesleyan-Reach
Kenyon-Low Reach/Match
UCLA-Reach (but it seems like they let in more people these days)
UCSD-More of a match than UCLA
Skidmore-Match</p>

<p>I love Sarah Lawrence. You pretty much fit their stats. Play up a certain aspect of your community service, is my rec.</p>
