<p>My GPA is looking to be around 3.8-4.0 by the end of senior year. My SAT has been around ~2250, will wait for results next week. I’m 90th percentile in class as of right now. </p>
<p>I hope that I will have more choices than just UC/DAAP, though I really like their program as of now. And it’s ranked #1 in industrial design by DI, probably have no chance of going to Art Center. </p>
<p>As of now, no, money is not an issue; as long as it’s the school that has what I love/want to pursue.</p>
<p>I’ve been talking to UC/DAAP professors/staff for a few weeks now. Just recently I started talking to the industrial design academic counselor. She told me that going the academic/rigorous course route would be better than taking a skills course (multimedia, art class, etc). After giving this some thought, I came up with another path. I’ve listed all of them: </p>
<p>Path 1.
1-6 period day schedule
AP Stats, Art 2, English 4, AP Gov/Econ
[AP Physics (2 period class)]
Total AP’s: 3</p>
<p>Path 2.
1-5 period day schedule
AP Stats, Art 2, English 4, AP Gov/Econ
[Elective (Multimedia/Psychology/Other]
Total AP’s: 2</p>
<p>Best Path?
1-5 period day schedule
AP Stats, Art 2, AP Gov/Econ
[AP Lang, Elective]
Total AP’s: 3 </p>
<p>Path 1 will give me 1-6 with AP Physics, no extra elective. 3 AP Classes
Path 2 will give give 1-5 without AP Physics, with elective. 2 AP Classes
Path 3 will give me 1-5 without AP Physics, with elective, REPLACED with AP Lang. 3 AP Classes</p>
