<p>I was a bit of a slacker in high school. I moved onto college and am currently sitting at 3.67 GPA and have made the Dean's List for both of my freshman semesters.</p>
<p>COURSES
I have taken general classes and most of them were considered the more or less "rigorous," courses that a freshman is able to take. This includes-
-English (the highest available)
-Basic Algebra (the middle course- "flex-paced," technically considered remedial)
-Basic Communications (a mandatory course for advancement)
-Theatre (the highest available)
-Art History (Area III, which means a senior would be expected to take this)
-Interpersonal Communications
-Psychology (a mandatory course for advancement)
-Sociology (a mandatory course for advancement)
*All of the above, I recieved a A in, except Psychology and Basic Com. which I recieved a B</p>
<p>EXTRA CIRCULARS
-A summer internship at my local TV/News Station (counts as college credit)
-Secondary camera operator/primary boom operator on independent film project
-Animal rights activist group (president and founder), affiliated w/ peta2.com
-Film club (an officer- marketing)
*All of the above are college only extra's. High school seems irrelevant. </p>
<p>PLANS
1) I am currently in the process of acquiring a camera (looking at a cannon), a Macbook Pro (for editing), and editing software (final cut pro/adobe suite 5), so that I can work on my own projects.
2) 4.0 GPA Sophmore year, deans list of course
3) More involvement in local film projects
4) Film or some media internship in New York City next summer
5) Finishing my sophomore year, for transfer in my junior year
6) Taking Film Studies, Media Criticism, and another Math course. Anything else I should take next semester? What type of classes should I be taking? </p>
<p>OTHER INFORMATION
- SAT SCORE: 1520. I'll list specifics if anyone wants to know.</p>
<p>FACT OR FICTION?
1) NYU/Tisch likes storytellers? So I should opt to send a screenplay/script as opposed to film reel? This wont be a problem because I am a good storyteller.
2) The average SAT score for admitted Tisch students is a 1300? Which would mean I would not need to retake my SATS?
3) There comes a point when NYU/Tisch no longer cares about an applicants high school transcript after taking _____ number of college credits? Anyone know if this is true? And what the number is?
4) Tisch does not like a "laundry list," of extra-ciriculars? Should I be involved in more, less, or stick with what I have? </p>
<p>Any help would be MUCH appreciated!!!</p>
