<p>I'm a senior in high school, and my GPA was just recently lowered due to an overwhelming junior year. In freshman and sophomore years, my grades were mostly A's with some B's. In junior year, my grades were mostly C's with a couple of B's. My GPA fell from a 3.8 to a 3.1 in one year. I took all honors courses last yer with one AP. It was history, and I got a 3 on the exam. My SAT scores were 1930 with writing. I am signed up for SAT II's, but I haven't taken them yet. I plan on taking the SAT's again as well.</p>
<p>I am heavily involved in the film program at my school. We have something called an 'Arts Academy', which is somewhat of a separate institution in our school. You need to apply every year, space is limited, and you need to apply to it separately when applying to my school in general. I have been in this program since its inception, and I produce about six short films every year. Two have been admitted into a student film festival two consecutive years. I have received honors such as 'Best Screenwriter' and 'Best Editing' in my school. I also play sports, both football and indoor and outdoor track. I am also in Habitat for Humanity, and I also am involved in the tech side of theatrical productions.</p>
<p>As far things I do outside of school, I have participated in the 48 Hour Film Festival, making the 'Best of' DVD. I am also a volunteer and student jury member in the Rhode Island Film Festival. I have written ten screenplays to back up my seven short films, and all we be put into my portfolio.</p>
<p>My first question is can I bring my GPA back to where it once was before junior year?</p>
<p>My second question is if I can get into colleges such as NYU Tisch program or Emerson. Both would be considered my top choice.</p>
But…then again, junior year is the year colleges look at the MOST. Just try to get your GPA up by senior year. Also think about EDing at NYU, if FA is not needed.</p>
