<p>Hi! I'm a High Schooler who is going to be a senior in a few months, and I had a few (quite a few) questions about colleges. Some of these questions might seem like stupid ones, but I'm just trying to be thorough. Also they're long, but like I said, I just want to be thorough, and better to give too much information than too little.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Do colleges consider state standardized tests? I'm very proud of my standardized testing scores (including getting the highest possible score in writing), but I don't know if they'll matter overall.</p></li>
<li><p>How many colleges is a good amount to apply to? I want to major in theatre, and most of those require auditions, and traveling all over the place is not possible. I'm only planning on applying to 2 colleges (Temple University and Tisch), but most people I know are applying to more.</p></li>
<li><p>Is it realistic/possible for me to want to get into either of these schools musical theater programs with no (credible) acting experience? I know that I want to be an actress, there's no doubt, but I'm cyberschooled and the local high school doesn't let anyone not attending the school try out for any plays. I have gone to two theater camps at the local college and student interned as an instructor at another theater camp at the same college.</p></li>
<li><p>Should I list being a Girl Scout even if I don't have the highest award? I've been one for coming up on 13 years and I do have several other awards from them including the leadership award and the advocate award. However chances are I will not get the Gold Award, which is equivalent to the Eagle Award for Boy Scouts. I want to, but it comes down to the fact that I would need to spend about 130 hours to get all of the requisites I need to, not counting planning time. And I'd rather put that time into schoolwork.</p></li>
<li><p>What are some other specific EC's that would be good for these colleges/these majors? Other than being in plays because that really isn't possible.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thank you for any and all help you can give me!</p>
