<p>Oh, I’m applying to Holy Cross and Georgetown as well. Brown is my number one, though. My parents don’t really mind if I go to a Catholic college or not, I’m sure if I did they’d be pleased, though. They want me to apply to a good mix of colleges, so I’m planning on applying to a few state universities as well.</p>
<p>I’ve never actually heard of Muhlenburg …</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter whether you’re playing competitively or not. If you don’t know the proper technique for something, you’re going to injure yourself and it won’t be so much fun. You don’t ever play right in gym, if you want to play volleyball the way you do in gym, don’t start a club. Just go down to the beach/park with a volleyball.</p>
<p>I hadn’t realized USC had an early program. Is it really hard to get into? My aunt went there and I’ve never heard of it, and I thought I knew quite a bit about USC. :P</p>
<p>Here is a list of all the schools on my list. I’m still not positive on what I want to major in. I love acting (I like film acting way better) and I also can see myself as a print journalist. I would love to work for a travel magazine or go into art journalism. I wouldn’t mind just being a reporter either. I also like dramatic writing and my dream job would be to write and star in my own TV Show. I can see myself as a talent agent when I’m older too. Other things I can see myself in is Tourist Management and International Relations. I also just have a 3.1-3.2 GPA (with 1 weighted AP class) now, so I need my grades to go up. I had a bad freshman year and had a terrible math teacher. She would give us homework and then try to teach us it. But anyway here are the schools:</p>
<p>NYU, USC, Northwestern, Yale, UNC- Chapel Hill, Sarah Lawrence, Bennington, Kenyon, Bard, Wesleyan U, Swarthmore, Vassar, Reed, UGA, IU- Bloomington, Mizzou, Ithaca, American (sorry I forgot about this Catholic school), George Washington, U Minn (acting), Chapman, Lehigh, Suny Purchase, Marlboro, Loyola Marymount (I forgot this Catholic school too), Villanova, Holy Cross, Susquehanna, New College of Florida, Hampshire, West Georgia, Flagler, Point Park, Lake Forest, Occidental, UCLA (maybe), Muhlenburg, Lewis and Clark, U Maryland, Georgetown, Lehigh and Syracuse Newhouse. </p>
<p>That’s a lot of school and I have 5 Catholic schools on it. It will change and I have time, you may see that these schools are very different.</p>
<p>Muhlenburg is in Penn and is a liberal arts school. I understand rch, I guess I will need a coach for it. I still have to ask how to make a club at my school, lol. No one ever injured themselves in Gym, but we weren’t playing the “real” way. I will try and ask about it. </p>
<p>Smile- That’s great, good luck with Brown!</p>
<p>Here it is rch, [Resident</a> Honors Program > USC College of Letters, Arts & Sciences](<a href=“http://college.usc.edu/resident-honors-program/]Resident”>http://college.usc.edu/resident-honors-program/)</p>
<p>You need: A high High School GPA with few grades lower than an A-
A minimum combined SAT I score of 2050 or composite ACT score of 32.
A charged resume that demonstrates a readiness for college work
Evidence of the high level of maturity necessary for entering college</p>
<p>I have had lots of B’s on my transcript and 2 D’s in math, so doesn’t look good. The average GPA is over a 4.0 and a very high SAT score, much harder to get into then reg admission.</p>
<p>Acting? Wow, thats the first I’ve heard on CC. Lol. You are applying to a lot of colleges ! I’m only applying to around 10 or so.</p>
<p>Smile: I’m only going to be a sophomore and that’s just a list of schools I’m intrested in. I’m not planning on applying to all of them! And there are lots of kids who act on here, I go on the Theater/Drama board a lot too.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If it were not for your stating that you lived in the South earlier, I would say that we had the same teacher. It was such a terrible experience and I have no idea how I did on the state standardized tests. I probably scored below average, and next year’s math class is going to be so difficult. 
We’ll have to help each other. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Definitely, if you can get a coach it’s always best. There might even be a couple of people who played volleyball in high school a couple of years ago who might be willing to help out to try to stay in shape. </p>
<p>Thanks for the link, by the way. I’m not really interested in a early college though, since I’ll be going IB. the USC program looks difficult to get into, but it’s probably worth it if you want to get in. I love LA.</p>
<p>Ohh, I’ve never checked that place out, maybe thats why? Never even knew it existed! lol.</p>
<p>I had other bad teachers too, I have bad luck lol! I got a 72 both semesters and I failed the final both times. I got a 96 in math in 8th grade, but I failed math in 5th grade and failed the standarized test in 6th grade. I got B’s mostly in middle school, except for 8th grade. She was the easiest teacher ever and she was pregnant. I usually do good some years and bad other years. There was 7 kids who failed 1st semester and 3 failed 2nd semester. We have a new curriculum though, so everyone did bad. I am taking Accel Int Geometry next year. I am suppose to take AP Cal or AP Stats senior year.</p>
<p>In LA, I should have got an A. I was in a poetry competition and I was suppose to get 3 test grades for a 100 and 3 quiz grades for a 100. She only gave me one test and one quiz grade for a 100 and told me she never said that. I should have got an A, but I didn’t fight with her and it’s too late to change it now. The poem was about the Holocaust and no one understood it and kids laughed at it. When you talk to me, I’m very funny so it was hard to see me serious. It was not funny and it was actually a great poem, everyone thought so. There were no Jewish people there to understand. I’m sending it in for a poetry contest this year and was even thinking about doing it for America’s Got Talent. </p>
<p>PS- I also had a bipolar Theater teacher who was nice to me some days and not so nice others. My Bio teacher hated me and once she was talking about a college class and I said it sounded boring to myself. She heard me and yelled at me and I never get yelled at, I’m a good student. She thought I was talking to someone else and I wasn’t. </p>
<p>It’s fine, we don’t have IB in our school. What exactly is it? Don’t you do the work yourself? I’m in another AP class next year.</p>
<p>Yeah it does exist smile, lol. I never been in the engineering board though. I hate math and science, much more of the social studies and English person. There is also a Musical Theater board and a Drama/Theater board. I can’t sing or dance and hate musicals lol. People use to stare at me in Chorus, lol.</p>
<p>I’m in Georgia if anyone is wondering.</p>
<p>When I said LA, I meant Los Angeles, California. I don’t know if that was clear or not. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It’s the Diploma Program run by the International Baccalaureate Organization. If you want to specifics, check out their website: [International</a> Baccalaureate (IB)](<a href=“http://ibo.org/]International”>http://ibo.org/) It’s one of the most difficult things to explain. </p>
<p>By the way, I resent the implication that IB students do not do the work themselves. I’m not interested in taking off after junior year because the IB program is a two-year program that you start in your junior year. If I left, it would render many of the IB-specific courses I took useless, along with the fact that I would need to complete a 4,000 word essay on a topic of my choice during my first year of IB and that would be quite useless as well.</p>
<p>I knew you meant Los Angeles. I was referring to Language Arts in one of my posts. </p>
<p>Thanks, so can you take AP and IB courses?</p>
<p>Yes, but in the next post you referred to LA as English? So, I thought I mind as well throw that in. </p>
<p>You can, technically, but they might prepare you for entirely different things. There’s only one AP course at my school, anyway.</p>
<p>Early college, I think you said you looked into public early colleges, right? I go to one, and from the earlycolleges.org website I see they have a few in Georgia, a couple in Atlanta alone. Have you considered those?</p>
<p>I think of Language Arts as the same thing as English. Oh I see what your saying. </p>
<p>Thanks Met! I don’t have any by me though. I looked at West Georgia’s program, but I don’t think it is the same thing.</p>
<p>Early College HS is different than starting college a year early.</p>
<p>I know rch. Simon’s Rock is a college with younger students. West Ga has a program at the college itself and so does USC. Early Admission is something where you just start a year early and schools like Sarah Lawrence, Ithaca, Reed, etc. Simon’s Rock is the only college like that though.</p>
<p>I was pointing that out to Metallika.</p>
<p>Oh ok LOL!</p>
<p>In an effort to start a conversation: </p>
<p>What authors are you into?</p>
