Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I am a current Junior looking to get into USC, UCSB, NYU, Boston University, Syracuse, University of Texas at Austin, Wisconsin- Madison, UNC, Kansas, or University of Minnesota.</p>

<p>GPA:
-3.5</p>

<p>ACT:
-28 (taking it again in April)</p>

<p>APs:
-US History
-US Government
-Comparative Politics
-Psychology
-World History
(taking Micro & Macroeconomics, Lit & Comp, Euro, and Stats next year)</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
-Been in the top auditioned choir for 3 years as well as an acapella group
-International Thesbian Society
-Drama Club (Executive Board Member)
-Young Filmmakers Club
-Lacrosse (2 years of JV)
-Many of my photographs have been featured in our Lit Mag
-Films in our school film festival (submitting mine for this year soon. Hopefully it wins.)
-Various Volunteer hours</p>

<p>I am looking to apply to the Film schools of USC and NYU. The rest I am looking to study either Journalism or Chemistry. I am also a Minnesota resident (Eden Prairie High School). If you know of and other schools that I could get into (for Film, Journalsim, or Chemistry) please suggest them below. </p>

<p>So...what are my chances?!</p>

<p>Is money an issue? Most of the OOS publics won’t give you aid.</p>

3

<p>Money is not a MAJOR issue, but it would be nice. I am hoping for some scholarships of sorts.</p>

4

<p>Bump???</p>

<p>With that GPA USC and NYU film schools are are going to be a big reach, no guarantees. Majoring in film is a waste of time anyway (trust me on this) so maybe this is a blessing in disguise. </p>

<p>For Syracuse, their Newhouse school of public communication is extremely competitive but you may have a shot. This holds the same for BU. Their COM school is competitive but you have a good shot. I’d say keep those schools for match/ low reach. </p>

<p>USCB you probably have a good chance of getting in if you have good essays. </p>

<p>The rest, I have no idea.</p>

<p>Bump???</p>

<p>Yeah I’m probably going to stop trying to help people out on this forum if all I get is a “Bump???”…</p>

<p>So sorry! Your reply didn’t show up until now! I thank you for your opinions. That seems fairly accurate. I am really liking UCSB and Syracuse right now. The other one I am really into right now is Texas Austin. Do you know anything about that? How helpful will it be if I get a 30 on my ACT? Thanks for yor help!</p>
