theatrehopeful · February 25, 2012, 10:37pm

Pick one:
Decision: Accepted, CHP

Objective:[ul]
[] SAT I (breakdown): 2290 (800 W/800 R/690 M)
[] ACT: didn’t take it
[] SAT II: didn’t take them
[] Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 3.89
[] UC GPA: 4.1
[] Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): No idea, my school doesn’t do them…I would put myself in the top 5%-10% of my class though.
[] ELC?: Forgot to submit the form last year that lets them consider you for this.
[] AP (place score in parenthesis): 5 on APUSH, in Comp Gov and English Comp this year
[] IB (place score in parenthesis):
[] Senior Year Course Load: Psychology, Advanced Drama, AP English Comp, TA period, AP Comp Gov, Contemporary Issues & Public Policy
[li] Major Awards (USAMO, Intel etc.):[/ul] None really…NM Commended Scholar I suppose[/li]
Subjective:[ul]
[] Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): Copy editor on school’s paper, EXTENSIVE work in theatre both at school and outside, to the point where it’s a full time job.
[] Job/Work Experience: Theatre, again. What is paid and what isn’t runs into each other.
[] Volunteer/Community service: Lots of work at local non-profit community theatre, and time volunteering at local middle school on diversity workshops.
[] Personal Statement:[/ul] Probably helped me a lot. I am a very strong writer and I wrote about how my parent’s experiences in life shaped how they treated me and who I am, and about a specific experience on a major project - directing a play - that took over my life for over a year. I also attached a small statement about the extenuating circumstances that led to me taking such a light senior course load, which probably helped.

Other[ul]
[] Applied for Financial Aid?: Yes, but didn’t expect to get any.
[] Intended Major: Drama (Acting specialization)
[] State (if domestic applicant): CA
[] Country (if international applicant):
[] School Type: Public
[] Ethnicity: Caucasian
[] Gender: Female
[] Income Bracket: $180,000+
[li] Hooks (URM, first generation college, research, etc.):[/ul] Nothing particular. First student ever to direct a full theatre production at my school, which may have been a good hook as a drama major.[/li]
Reflection[ul]
[] Strengths: Again, very strong writer and committed theatre student. Good for a drama major, obviously, but I also think they like to see that you picked one or two interests and really focused on them.
[] Weaknesses: NEVER took a particularly intense course load like many other CCers.
[li] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected:[/ul] Strong SATs, strong personal statements, strong interest in my intended major.[/li]
General Comments: Good luck! Again, try not to stretch yourself too thin. Comparing myself to my friends, I took way less APs and “difficult” courses but I showed an intelligent and passionate interest in something and I think that helped a lot.
