Senior in High School, homeschooled student, graduating summer or early fall of 2017. (Around July or August). Out of state student, but not too worried about financial aid. Applying for Spring 2018 at Emerson College in Boston, MA, for the Writing, Lit and Publishing Major, Minor in Entrepreneurship or Business of Creative Enterprises.

GPA: 4.06
ACT Score (Submitting, not SAT): 26
Honors Classes, AP English and AP World History, Summer Programs throughout high school: Columbia University English and Film (Summer of 2014), Cambridge University UK British Literature and British Music (Summer of 2015), St. Andrews Creative Writing (Summer of 2016).
Recommendation Letter (Work in Progress, although will most likely ask AP English/British Literature teacher).
Clubs throughout high school: Honors Choir (performed at Carnegie Hall), Make A Wish
Recording Artist (I record my own music outside of school, I don’t know if this is a plus or not on the creative side by why not).

I really like Emerson’s combinations of the arts, business and communication. The campus looks beautiful (hope on visiting in fall) and I like the idea of the arts college in Boston. I’ve heard good things about this school and love the curriculum. What are my chances of getting in?
