<p>SAT scores would be nice, but Ill offer my opinion on the colleges I have spent the most time researching:</p>

<p>You stand an excellent chance at American Uni [almost a safety], and a reasonable chance at GWU [match]. NYU is a reach, but if you work hard and pull that GPA up, and get a decent 1350+ SAT, you would have a very reasonable chance there as well</p>

5

<p>Florida State has an excellent film school, too as does Syracuse.</p>

6

<p>BU has great communications.
Syracuse (Newhouse) is extremely prestigious, as is Northwestern (Medill). University of Missouri, UNC-Chapel Hill, and Emerson are also good.</p>

7

<p>sat better be high. but your schools seem to match ur gr8 ecs and pretty ok gpa. try to get rlly high gpa and sat. how were psats? those could help predict.</p>

8

<p>PSATs = not so good. But I'm taking a princeton review course to held raise my scores. Thank you so much for your opinions. If I maintain the gradesI have so far this semester for the rest of the year I should be able to raise my GPA.
thanks</p>

<p>also... thanks to everyone for your other suggestions. :-D</p>

<p>bump...please</p>

2) Another softball thing: Attending West Point PONY J.O. Tournament and went to UMASS camp last summer
3) I'm also making a 20 minute documentary film about .... my school environment. "DVD Release" May 20, 2005 <--- this just mean it will be done then</p>

<p>Also as far as the senior schedule looks like:

AP Calculus AB
AP Studio Art

History independent (idk exactly what about but either Nazi germany or Czarist russia are opitions).
