<p>Stonybrook University (SUNY), is basically my goal for next year. I'm currently a student in England, but I was an American student until about the 7th grade (GPA 85% at the time).</p>
<p>So my current GPA is unknown. But I have 4 GCSE's (English, Maths, & 2 for Drama).
C in Maths (was the highest grade available to the class), A* in English, and Pass in Drama. This year, I plan to complete my Maths and English A levels in one year (if you knew me, you'd know I'm capable). And to take an extensive foundation art course.
I plan to go for art, I know it's not the best major, and it's not the best school, but long story short, this is still my goal school. If you want to see a piece of my work, ask (not sure if it makes a difference).</p>
<p>I have yet to take my SAT's, but am being privately tutored, advised, and am booking to take them in October and again in November. What kind of score should I aim for as a minimum to get in? Hoping for at least 600 on each.</p>
<p>Also have a lot of extra curricular work done. School newspaper, YMCA internship, Model UN, school plays, equestrian club, drama club, lots of YMCA community theatre-related work, etc.</p>
<p>Seems like I have the biggest background in drama, but I assure you, my passion is for art and I lack that background because I have terrible luck with classes being cancelled last minute. I've done commissions before, though. Not sure if they'll want to hear about that.</p>
<p>I'm desperately trying to avoid transferring there. Any advice on what I should complete this year? The grades I should aim for? The clubs I should join? Will my travel experience look good? My chances so far, specifically?</p>
