<p>Applying to Tisch's Film and Television program</p>
<p>Current College : University of Kansas</p>
<p>College GPA : 4.0 (but I'm only a second semester freshman)</p>
<p>First semester courses and credit hours : French 110 (5), Freshman Honors English (3), Calc 115 (3), and Art History Ancient through Medieval (3)</p>
<p>Second semester: French 120 (5), Physics 114 (4), Art History : Renaissance through Modern (3), and Physical Anthropology (4)</p>
<p>Second semester grades: for sure nothing below a B, hoping for straight A's again, we'll see? I don't think they'll matter so long as I don't get below a B</p>
<p>Involvement: A little bit of GSA stuff, but essentially nothing, I didn't joing any clubs really</p>
<p>Essays: Very very specific, cited professors, programs, etc.</p>
<p>Rec: Good, I hope, got it from a professor I knew as well as possible and had a ridiculously high grade with (Knew I wanted my rec from art history)</p>
<p>Tisch Supplemental: Resume very qualified I think, Dramatic Essay made everyone who read it crack up but not inappropriate, Portfolio that I'm very proud of, and also I sent in 10 prints of paintings, even though the app said you should only send in one media (I dunno, I worked my ass off learning to paint for 5 years, I've been doing film for 2, I wanted to show my stronger stuff and more applicable stuff)</p>
<p>High School Stuff (Here's where it gets messy)</p>
<p>SAT: 1550 (800 M 750 V)</p>
<p>SAT II's: None</p>
<p>ACT: 32 composite, 31 English</p>
<p>GPA: 3.05 UW 3.35 W, messed up, got a D in gym (I know, how laughable) along with Honors Algebra II, and a bunch a bunch of Cs</p>
<p>BUT: Senior year first semester 4.2 second semester 4.17 (a B or two though, AP's when available, UW it was like a 3.8 or so)</p>
<p>High school involvement: Debate state champion, also ranked 3rd in the state overall two consecutive years, President of Gay Straight Alliance, Forensics with a top rating at state fest, 1st place at a regional forever ago in Academic Decathlon</p>
<p>Oh, and I applied last year and did not get in. Not sure if that has much/any positive or negative affect.</p>
<p>Wow, I made that too long. But yeah, thoughts? Am I still screwed from bad high school grades?</p>
