<p>hey I'm a rising senior and I was wondering what my chances were for acceptance. EC achievments from my senior year are just things I've been elected/promised. I'm interested in creative writing:</p>
<p>GPA (unweighted): (I seperated the years to show improvment)
freshman: 2.5
sophomore: 3.5
junior: 3.8</p>
<p>(Weighted):
freshman: 2.5
sophomore: 3.6
junior: 4.0</p>
<p>SAT: M-550, CR- 570 (I'm raising it)</p>
<p>Extra curricular:</p>
<p>Copy editor of HS newspaper junior year</p>
<p>Editor in chief of HS newspaper senior year</p>
<p>Editor in chief of HS literary magazine junior and senior year</p>
<p>Lead role in 3 plays during junior and senior years (the breakfast club, rocky horror picture show, and la mantis religiosa) at local community theatre</p>
<p>supporting role in one school play freshman year (bye bye birdie)</p>
<p>Vice president of junior class</p>
<p>President of student body in my senior year</p>
<p>AP english outstanding achievement award junior year</p>
<p>Journalism/newspaper outstanding achievement award junior year</p>
<p>Winner of Youth Tour to Washington speech contest 2006</p>
<p>1-2 years of private guitar lessons (i don't know if that matters)</p>
<p>I think there's more but you get the idea.....</p>
<p>Great improvement!</p>
<p>sarah lawrence doesn't even look at your SAT scores... </p>
<p>i'd say you have a pretty decent chance, but--
the most important thing is make sure that the english paper you submit and your essays are very strong. i mean, just keep in mind that all of your extra-curricular activities are significant but not the entirety of your application.</p>
<p>best of luck!</p>
<p>thanks guys</p>
<p>they don't look at SAT's?</p>
<p>Wow, that makes me respect them even more. That's awesome.</p>
<p>how are they as far as financial aid?</p>
<p>as far as financial aid is concerned-
not very generous. </p>
<p>(in my case) my parents aren't that well off but not really in the range classifying for lots of aid. sarah lawrence's tuition is about half of what my parents make in a year, if that can give you an idea of where my family's income lies. i was given a package of about $11,000 (half being loans) - keep in mind tuition is insanely expensive. in my acceptance package there was a pamphlet inserted offering loans in increments of $10,000 which was something my parents were entirely against. i wasn't persistent either, and from what i've heard it helps to be persistent and appeal, so that might have not worked in my favor. their lack of financial aid was the main reason i ended up going elsewhere and decided upon boston university (for mainly financial reasons).
if you need help with the application process my AIM is wastetimeagain
i'd be happy to answer any more additional questions you may have. i know and understand that the college application process can be quite overwhelming. </p>
<p>(quite honestly, nobody really checks this board for sarah lawrence.)</p>
