<p>Junior, female, GPA after this year of about 3.55. SAT range is 1900. No ranking high school. ECs are good---professional performer, with Broadway, TV, Film, Commercial credits. Professional model with work for some recognized designers. Honors choir, expecting to get at least regional, and possibly all-state choir status. Documented visual disability and ADHD which detract from grades (and make APs too difficult--reading is very hard and time-consuming), but unable to get accomodations for the SATs. Performed in 7 years of summer charity shows--raising more than $40,000 so far. Film maker, music video maker. 5 instructional music videos still in use in my high school's chemistry classes. I am also applying to our Governors school of the arts for film making this year. Also was a People to People Student Ambassador to France, Italy and Greece. Am treasurer/fundraiser and one of the choreographers for our high school's step team. (also the first caucasion girl on it) Next year I'm trying for captain/president. Beginner of a books-on-tape program for inner-city schools, in which I recruit other theater kids to help me record kids' books to donate (3 years). I think I may have the ECs and the charity work aspect down, but the academics is concerning me. Any thoughts?</p>
<p>Given your current stats, both TCNJ and Rhodes are matches. You might also want to consider the following schools:</p>
<p>Sarah Lawrence
Skidmore
St. Lawrence University
Drew University (Madison, NJ, where the NJ Shakespeare Festival is located)</p>
<p>And yes, you really do have the ECs and charity work aspect down. Make sure that every school you apply to knows in detail what you've done. It's pretty impressive. Also, you may want to discuss your disabilities and ADHD in your essays, and perhaps relate it to your charity stuff.</p>
<p>And here's another thought...</p>
<p>If you want to pursue performing arts as a career after college, you might want to apply to Carnegie Mellon. Academically, it would be a reach, but the drama school there is among the best in the country, and the primary criteria for admission is an audition. Considering your professional experience, you'd have a real advantage there.</p>
<p>Also, you could consider Juilliard.</p>
<p>Thanks so much for the reply. I'm actually not majoring in theater...maybe minoring if I have to. My new loves are chemistry and physics, and film making. I hope that won't count against me. They might not care about the professional stuff if I don't intend to do it a whole lot of it at college.</p>
