<p>Hi. So, I messed up my junior year. Big time.</p>

<p>I wanted to go apply to:
Emerson College

<p><em>NOTE: between Sophmore & Junior year I took Honors Alg. 2 online through Johns Hopkins and passed</em></p>

<p>GPA: 89.75 (Weighted, my school only sends out weighted)

<p>Do I have any shot in heck at any of the listed schools? I tried my hardest during junior year, but I misjudged the difficulty of the APs and just bombed. If not, if anyone has any reccomendations about schools I could get into, It would be much appreciated.</p>

<p>I am applying to all schools for their acting programs, which means auditions and interviews, which I know I can do well in.</p>

<p>Please help me. I'd be happy to respond to any of your threads.
Thanks.</p>

<p>You don’t think my grades will ruin those schools for me?</p>

<p>sorry, I don’t think hampshire is happening.</p>

<p>I would have a first semester senior year be more like your sophomore year. If your LAC’s have rolling admissions, I would expect you might not hear until after your 7th semester grades are in so they can see if there is a trend down, or if Junior year was a “fluke.” And you could be rescinded for any D’s senior year, so NO SENIORITIS.</p>

<p>If you stress the acting and show a passion for it, as well as talent in the audition/interview stage, I think that could overcome some of the grade.</p>

<p>I’d say your chances are:</p>

<p>Emerson College-match
Ithaca College-match
Hampshire College-high match/low reach
Bennington College-high match
Adelphi University-safety/match</p>

<p>Junior year really was a fluke. My entire senior year is going to be study study study so I have high Bs/ As. I’m going to apply as late as I can (most are rolling) so that I have good senior grades on my transcript. No senioritis for me, no way!</p>

<p>Thank you so much everyone, you’ve really made me feel better.</p>
