THEATER MAJOR
anyone… please.

@Gumbymom are theatre majors judged of their performance more than their GPA, if you were any other typical major in the school of letters and sciences I’d say the only school you have a shot at is UC merced and that to is a low reach
Are you referring to Berkeley? If so, your GPA and SAT score is really low.
@dumbledoresivy All UC’s are out of reach except Riverside possibly
Riverside’s average GPA is 3.83 @LomoKuan even that’s out of reach i’m just wondering whether being a theatre major effects anything
@BucketsUCSC and @DumbledoresIvy: I cannot answer the question about EC’s/Performance/Awards are more critical in the evaluation of a theater major at a UC versus a private like USC or Chapman. Looking over the UC admission criteria, I see no difference in application review for any specific majors, so I am assuming the initial review will be based on UC GPA and test scores and then onto the EC’s and essays.
UCB is out of reach.
@BucketsUCSC That doesn’t affect much. Theater or engineering, a 3.2 UC GPA compared to the average of 3.8+ is going to be a huge stretch no matter what.
If theatre is more performance and audition based your extracurriculars demonstrating your passion could carry you in; if you can do a really unique and awesome theatre related extracurricular that would help too. Like the theatre related EC’s you have right now are great but they’re not “I’m in the top 5% of theatre kids” that some of the higher up UoC’s expect I’d imagine. You’d also have to have strong personal statements of course.
