<p>Hi everyone!
So I'm a junior right now, and Tisch's film program is my dream. Right now, here are my stats:</p>
<p>GPA: 95% unweighted, probably around a 99% weighted
PSATS (superscored): 790 Math, 700 Reading, 680 Writing
Classes:
- Freshman: accelerated all classes (don't really remember my grades)
- Sophomore: 3 IBs (Math HL1, French HL1, Chemistry HL1) & APUSH (5 on the exam), Advanced art
- Junior: 5 IBs (French HL2, Math HL2, English HL1, Economics SL, Physics HL1/SL), Theory of Knowledge, and Photography (IB Art didn't fit into my schedule)
- Senior: <strong>planning on taking</strong> History of the Americas (IB HL), English (IB HL2), Art (IB SL), and most likely Chemistry (IB HL2) and Physics (IB HL2). I can't take a language or math because there are no more offered at my school for my level, so I may be taking a calculus class at the local SUNY university. And I've been on Honor Roll throughout all of High School so far
ECs:
- tennis since I was 6, Varsity since 9th grade
- Indoor Track (starting this year)
- Scholar Athlete Award & STAC Award for tennis for the past 3 years
- I'm on regional board for my youth group as "Regional Historian", pretty much I take pictures and make videos at all the regional events, I've been on Chapter Board since freshman year, & I have a good chance at being on national board next year, & I've been involved since 5th grade
- National Honor Society
- Selected to go on a 5 week Israel Advocacy trip with my youth group (Summer 2012)
- Applying to a leadership program with my youth group for this summer, and to NYU's summer Film program, I'm going to whichever one turns out to be cheaper if I get accepted to both
- I'm in Mathletes, Art Club, French Club, participated in French Exchange this past year, and I'm part of my school's Mentoring Program that helps integrate incoming freshman into high school
- I've volunteered throughout my community constantly for the past 4 years</p>
<p>The one place I'm lacking in is film experience. I've been really into photography since middle school, my photography has been featured on a few blogs, but most of the film I do is for my youth group & school. I also tried out being "youtube famous", it didn't go too well, but I don't think the videos were too bad. I'm trying to work on a few short films this year to get some practice.</p>
<p>What are my chances / what should I try to accomplish this year to add to my resume?</p>
<p>Thank you so much!!</p>
