<p>thanks everyone for the helpful comments and criticism.</p>
<p>hopefully ill have straight A's for the AP classes my senior year.</p>
<p>yes, my math courses I have straight A's, but for chemistry I had on/off A's, B's, with one C. Will that hurt too much, even if another science teacher's recomendation is REALLY good, talking about how eager to learn and everything?</p>
<p>DVD Portfolio is finished... looks really good with all of my animations and independant research projects... Also have a finished science research paper that I'm gonna send also.</p>
<p>Thanks again.</p>
<p>Oh, by the way, if it matters, should I put down on my application that I am a second-generation Ukrainian (ie, both my dad and mom moved to america, then I was born here)? And if yes, where should I mention it?</p>
<p>Just right it on your dads nationality thing..</p>
<p>by the way marcopolo you are sending the DVD portfolio on the same part of the common app where they ask for art pieces, musics and etc?</p>
<p>do you think it will help you?</p>
<p>It depends on how much they care or not...</p>
<p>I have won a lot of tech and art awards for my computer animations, computer engineering projects, films, website designs, etc.</p>
<p>So, if it gives them a better context for how I can apply myself outside of the classroom, sure I think it'll help (hopefullly :) )...</p>
