<p>Hey everyone, I was wondering what my chances were of getting into these schools...at least academically. I'm only a junior right now but my school is making us do this mandatory college research project type thing. Anyway, I have to interview for most schools I apply to since I am going to major in Theater (concentration in Producing and Management) but I'd like to know how I am doing academically. Any help would be appreciated =] also, if you have any comments or opinions about the schools I have listed feel free to add them in. Sorry if this is kind of long. I like to put detail into things like this so that I don't miss anything.</p>
<p>Schools:
Marymount Manhattan (personally right now this is my top school. I love NYC, it's a small school, and it's not nearly as expensive as NYU. Plus, being in NYC would provide me with a lot of culture and resources needed to succeed in theater. I know that it's not the best ranked school but it's supposed to have a great theater program, or so I've heard?)
NYU
Syracuse (SU seems to except any students from my school since it's CLOSE by and they're kind of partnered in a way)
Fordham
Ithaca
Emerson
Boston University
Pace
I am also going to apply to a couple SUNY schools mainly to make my parents happy since i'm sure that my mom would like me to stay in the area but I'm pretty confident I'd get into any of them and are only a last resort type option.</p>
<p>Current GPA: 3.7</p>
<p>Extracurriculars (past and/or present from 9th grade and up):
Theater Arts Club
Play and Musical Tech Crew
Key Club
Students Against Destructive Decisions Club
Church Youth Group
Church Nursery
Art Club
Girl Scouts (yes, I am in girl scouts. we just go on trips to NYC and do community service. no badges or cookies or anything)
Peer Tutoring
French Club</p>
<p>I do also have a job. It's nothing special I just work at a store in the mall.
I also have volunteer hours.</p>
<p>Academic Achievements:
Academic Letter
National Junior Honors Society
Presidential Award
National Honors Student
2007 Earth Science Symposium Award
High Honor Roll
later this year: National Honors Society
there are a few more...i just can't think of them.</p>
<p>Classes:
Currently I have been taking an honors science class and an accelerated math course (meaning I'm one year ahead of the rest of my class. I'm in pre-calculus and most of the rest of my class is in Trig). I would be in more honors and AP classes but my average slipped a bit last year due to an unexpected death in my family in March and I wanted to focus more on getting my grades back up to par. But next year I should be in at least 4 AP classes and an accelerated French course.</p>
<p>I also have an NY state education. Sometimes I guess that impresses people since I guess NY is one of the top academic states? I don't know, that is what some of my teachers say at least but they could just be bias. All of my regents (NY state required tests) are above an 85 (I believe 89 in Bio + Earth Science + French, 95 in Global History + Math A) except for Math B (I got a 70) because it was way to hard to catch up on that after the amount of school I missed due to my dad passing away. I would just go to my guidance counselor for the "how do you think I am doing?" talk but literally the guidance counselors at my school do nothing. They won't help you at all. My friend almost didn't get excepted into his top college because the guidance counselor sent his recommendation in late.</p>
<p>So anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated. If you actually read all of this then wow. thank you. =]</p>
