I’m taking ACT and SAT II in US History and Math 2 in June.
I am hoping for at least a 33 or a 1500 on my ACT/SAT.
Possible Majors/About Me:
I am thinking about majoring in film studies, or perhaps some subject in liberal arts; like humanities, culture & media, journalism, creative writing, literature, etc. I’m not really too sure at this point though, but I know I love to travel and hope to incorporate my enthusiasm for traveling in a future career.
I might even want to minor in Computer Science because I enjoy technology, website creating (I used to blog), and video-editing in my spare time.
I would say I am quite artistic and creative, but I don’t have any “official” experience in art or film nor do my courses in high school showcase any of my artistic abilities (My school does not offer many electives and I’ve, in all honesty, been taking classes for the GPA boost and prestige, rather than because I like them. However, this has probably backfired on me because as you can see I received B’s in half of my classes first semester)
I used to want to major in fashion or just be able to work in the fashion industry, but I also feel like I have no real experience besides a short modeling position for a store a couple of months ago (which does not count as experience, in my opinion).
If only there were a career that I could combine all of my enthusiasms into one!
ANYWAY (that was off topic^), let me know what my chances are at UCLA, UCI, or UCB and how I can improve them (besides a better SAT/ACT score which I am working on)
