Could I get into Ithaca's TV-Radio Program?

<p>I am a junior at a very good high school, which is known for it's high curriculum and such. I am starting to look at colleges, and I've already known for a while that I want to go into television production, as I am very passionate about the subject. Here are some of my accomplishments, extra curricular, and academics that I've received int the past few years;</p>

<p>-I have an unweighted gpa of around 3.4-3.5 (if I'm counting my freshman year to now)
-I have a weighted gpa of 5.6 (out of 7)
-My unofficial class rank is 87/346
-I was the president of my choir class freshman year
-At the end of last year I was selected to be in my school's extremely selective all-women's award winning acapella group
-I have multiple solos in choir concerts
-I was selected to participate in the League of Women's Voters last year (apparently it looks really good on college apps)
-As a freshman I directed a One-Act play in my school's competition against other grades. I won Best Director, Best Show. My actors won Best Newcoming Actor, Best Newcoming Actress, Best Set, Best Lighting. A freshman has not won in ten years.
-Sophomore year, I had a supporting role in my grade's one act
-I was a lead in a Holocaust play called The Last Cyclist that my Actor's Studio class was putting on last year.
-I not only got inducted into International Thespian Society as a sophomore, but I got honor bar as well.
-I was a lead in my school's fall show as a freshman, and had a small role in the musical
-Sophomore year I got a lead in my school's children show, and was selected to be in the musical as well
*I was the assistant to the director in the musical
-I created my school's first Jewish Culture Club
-I am a member of French club (and by the end of the year will be in the French Honor Society)
-I received a lead role in my fall show this year. Musical auditions are next week.
-My director asked me to help her adapt a modern script of The Breakfast Club, which we will be writing in a couple of weeks. I will help direct it. </p>

<p>**I also have worked at multiple places over the course of these few years, including a counselor at a summer theater camp, and two retail positions.</p>

<p>Like I said, my school is very well known for it's high curriculum and difficulty level.</p>

<p>There's a little more to that I think, but what I'm really trying to ask is; do I have a chance of getting into Ithaca's TV-Radio program? I know that the Parks school is very competitive. I also am not sure if any sort of portfolio is required (or would help). This really is the only school I want to go to considering it is not only a great school, but affordable. Also, I'm planning on applying for early decision, if that helps.</p>

<p>Any sort of advice or anything would help. Thank you!</p>

<p>Hi - I’m the Dean of the Park School and I think you have a very good chance of getting in. We don’t require a portfolio. Our admission office weighs the competitiveness of your school, the difficulty of the classes you’ve taken, your GPA and rank in class. SATs and ACTs are optional. Your extracurricular activities are very strong-- and this is important. It will be important for you to write in your essay why you want to go into TV-Radio (especially since it seems like you’ve been doing a lot of theater and music). Certainly these are related and it shows that you have a passion for entertainment… all very good. If you’d like to come and visit and talk with our faculty and students, we’d be happy to see you.
