3.82 unweighted (same)
*Rank: 31/317
*SAT: (they're not fair)..writing 610, crit reading 520, math 550.
*ACT: Taking it June 10th.
*9th grade i took almost all honors (I have 2 B's on my transcript and 1 b+), 10th grade i took 2 honors but got A's across the board, this year (11) i took 1 ap and 4 honors and have all A's. Next year, I am taking 4 AP's (2 AP and 2 ap weighted honors) and 1 actual honors class.</p>

<p>Those are fairly impressive credentials. I don't know about music majors in particular, but with your GPA, classes, activites, etc, I think you should look into perhaps some tougher schools. Maybe have Ithaca as your safety school when you are applying.</p>

<p>id definitely be surprised if you didnt get in</p>

<p>what kind of music?</p>

<p>check out Berklee C. of Music in boston, its a Jazz music school. And for creative writing, check out Florida State, who is ranked number one in the country right now. I too am interested in both those majors and I am visiting FSU on the 22nd of June. I can let you know how it goes.</p>
