<p>What are my chances for the following schools? Am I setting my sights too high?
My current GPA overall: 3.45. GPA for Junior Year: 3.75 (big improvement). I go to a public hs, (junior year), my school is very, very, very competitive but doesnt rank students (by percentile). I've been involved with multiple extracurricular, Varsity Ice Hockey (4years, captain for 2), [and won several awards for hockey], I've been involved with some other sports throughout my time at highschool, I've been involved in some afterschool clubs, also I am in the school marching band for 3-4 years now, also took a ton of extra classes (Art, Music). I'm not in any honor/AP/AT courses, but over my three years, I have improved tremendously in my grades. (Freshman year Cs and low Bs, now High Bs and As). I took the SAT once already, didn't do so well, so I plan on taking it again, twice, before I apply to these schools. </p>
<p>I want to go to college to get a major in Film Production/Cinematography, so the following schools are based on that. I've been really involved in film now for these past couple of years (local film festivals, film camp, video class, etc.) and I'm very creative.
So here is the list....</p>
<p>Boston University
Chapman University
Emerson College
Ithaca College
Loyola Marymount University (LA, California)
Northwestern University (Illinois)
Syracuse University
UCLA
University of Miami (Florida)
USC (California)
University of Texas at Austin </p>
<p>My GPA is still rising and I will probably end up with a solid SAT score (high 1700 low 1800ish). </p>
<p>So whats my chances?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
