Narrowing my list

College Search & Selection

<p>Hi :) I've posted a couple times before about my list of colleges to apply to. I'm hoping to double major in English and theatre. Some basics stats for me are 2030 SAT (600 math, 730 verbal, 700 writing. retook it today and feel I did a lot better on math but we'll see) 3.9/4.0 unweighted gpa, ranked 9/413. Extracirriculars aren't the best, I've done a quite a bit of theatre during the year and over the summer but that's about my only extracirricular that shows a really strong dedication. I'm also secretary of our chapter of the National Honor Society. I've done other stuff (german club, choir, etc) but nothing exemplary. </p>

<p>I'm also taking the ACT w/ writing but for the first time in December and won't have time to retake it so if I don't do well I'll be relying on my SAT scores.. which is a problem for colleges that require subject tests in addition to the SAT. If I take those (and I have 3 days to decide) it'll be a one chance thing and I'm honestly not sure how well I'd do.. so I'm considering not applying to any schools that require subject tests, unfortunately.</p>

<p>DePaul - Is the acting major the only one with cuts? There's also a theatre arts major isn't there? I'm VERY hesistant to apply for any major that has cuts.. but otherwise the school seems perfect for me.
Brown
Kenyon
Vassar
Williams College - really like the sound of here but requires SAT subject tests.
Middlebury
Boston University - doesn't require subject tests for theatre, but does for almost every other major. I suppose if I want to double major I'd have to submit them then? Or just try to get accepted as a theatre major first?
Colgate
Oberlin
Amherst
Wesleyan
Skidmore
Rochester
Ithaca
Carnegie Mellon
NYU
Hamilton
Northwestern - not sure if I can double major here with theatre
Muhlenberg
Tufts
Boston College
American University</p>

<p>I have to cut this list down. Have I overlooked any schools? I'm only going to audition for 1-2 programs so I can only really pick 2 schools you have to audition for their theatre program and then maybe 3-4 that you don't.</p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>hmm, quite honestly, the SAT math has to be higher, because for the class of 07, most colleges dont count writing much.</p>

<p>I'll just comment a little on DePaul. Don't romanticize about it too much. While the theatre and music programs are top-notch, and the city location is great, much of the rest of the school is composed of students below your caliber (1200 SAT, 21 to 24 ACT). Think long and hard about how you would fit into that academic environment.</p>

<p>Might want to look at Holy Cross has very strong theatre program and strong alumni network.</p>
