I am currently a sophomore in high school and I want to major in film or even perhaps apply to a film program/school.
Please tell me which universities/colleges I have a good chance with these statistics:
ACADEMICS:
- Last year I was the first freshman at our school to ever take our AP Photography course
- Freshman year I had a weighted 4.4 GPA
- Sophomore year first semester I ended in:
- B in English H, C+ in World History H and Biology H (Ended both of those classes in 79.8% but both teachers refused to curve), A in ASB, B+ in Spanish, A+ in my ROP Film class
- Junior year I plan on taking 1-2 AP’s, our highest film class, all honors classes except for one college prep class, and ASB
- I have yet to take any SAT or ACT classes but based off diagnostic tests I should be scoring at least 1900+ on SAT and 25+ on ACT (just a very low estimate)
DISCLAIMER: The only reason why my grades dropped drastically first semester was because I was going through health and mental issues and was in and our of the hospital but obviously I can’t throw any excuses out there.
