NYU Tisch: Kanbar

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>1870 out of 2400. Verbal 620 and Math 660 on SAT I
500 on SAT II U.S History
Took SAT II MATH I
3.3 weighted GPA
MY grades frst quarter as a senior are a mixture of mostly D's and C's with one or two B's and of course an A in gym ahaha. I have 7 classes btw
but this is because from 4 honors classes I jumped to 3 Honors and 2 AP's. I'm having a hard time getting by. Im hoping colleges will see I'm challenging myself. But I'm afraid they might think I was careless.</p>

<p>My guidance counselor told me she wouldn't send my 1st quarter grades unless they ask for it after she sends the transcript and then add an explanation along with my 2nd quarter and midterm grades.</p>

<p>My EC. I dont have alot
Volunteered at Boston marathon
Film Club
vacation bible school
stock club
JSA
Anatomy club
Drama club
literary magazine
writer's block</p>

<p>First generation college student</p>

<p>BTW keep in mind NYU, Emerson and Syracuse require a portfolio. Hopefully my script will amaze them.</p>

<p>Other Colleges I'm looking at:
Boston UNiversity-COM
Syracuse University-SVA
Ithaca College - Roy H. Park School of Communications
Ohio University (Athens) - School of Visual Comunication
Emerson</p>

<p>For NYU's film school...</p>

<p>really a reach for you... your GPA / SAT I/ SAT II/ Senior year grades / EC's are all below average...</p>

<p>nonetheless, don't give up. it's an arts dept, ur portfolio will give you some bonus..</p>

<p>Ohio State - slight reach / match</p>

<p>krnpsychopath, I've known several people who got into film @ NYU with absolute **** grades/scores</p>

<p>but their personal statements were incredible and their portfolios were even better. I'm glad you pulled through (I got in too!)</p>

<p>eh? I didn't get in...I'm asking if i can...</p>

<p><em>sigh</em> I'd be really good if i could get in tho...</p>

<p>ur portfolio will have to be amazing. it has to show them u have significant talent in that field i.e. my friend produced a movie that they showed in a movie theater. it has to be something of that extent+it has to be good. Ur grades and SAT's and EXC dont really make u elgible for a school like that, esp seeing ur unweighted gpa is prlly 2.9-3.1. If no amaizng portfolio, realistically its not very probable.</p>
