<p>... i plan on majoring in creative writing.
So i'd like to think, hopefully, that my essays are semi-okay.
I'm getting letters from my AP US History/AP Psych teacher(had her two years), my AP Latin teacher of four years, and my mythology teacher of one semester(i really loved this teacher)
I've read my myth teacher's- and it's pretty good- and the rest are like...noted school-wide for their letter writing abilities.
Also sending in evaluation from Writing course, and letter of rec from my voice/piano teacher.
And some creative writing samples/articles i've written for our paper.</p>
<p>...so? What are my chances?
I don't really care about the other schools; Emerson is my main one...like, wow. And my GPA is below their average, but my ACT is a lot above it.</p>
<p>Thank you, all. And i know these are annoying, so thanks for bearing with me.</p>
