<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>okay well here's my story...</p>
<p>Throughout highschool, I've been a less-than-stellar student (2.6 gpa weighted, SATs 1010).....i've never liked school--just done what i've had to in order to get by. </p>
<p>However--my extra-cirricular resume is exceptional for someone who is still 17...</p>
<p>-student council president
-part time job at ABC-TV affiliate
-part time professional radio job as on-air talent
-several award-winning video productions
-produced :30 concert commercial for MTV
-DECA executive board member
-several other in-school leadership positions
-freelance concert promoter
-marketing consultant for several local musicians including pete francis (DISPATCH)</p>
<p>i'm not trying to sound stuck-up....but my resume is far beyond my years...I desperately want to go to college for a major in marketing/minor in film and video....my philosophy throughout highschool has been that if a college is going to accept me, it will be for the things i do outside of school....i keep hearing mixed things about emerson--my number one school....i hear form some people that they look at experience a lot on a case-by-case basis, i even heard from one graduate of emerson that he got in based solely on experience (he graduated high school with a 1.3 gpa)...and i hear from others that they are extremely competitive and even if you have experience they won't accept you without the grades....</p>
<p>could someone please tell me if i have any hope?--i can't honestly beleive that the years ive spent working on things outisde of school (things that i WANT TO DO FOR A LIVING---not lab sciences) are a waste...</p>
<p>other schools aside from emerson i'm looking at include:
hofstra
johnson and whales
u-new hampshire
northeastern</p>
<p>....any feedback on any of these schools would be greatly appreciated...thank you so much...</p>
<p>-g</p>
