<p>Basically, I will be sending in audition tapes for the schools I mentioned, and I am hoping that is the thing that will boost my acceptance chances...so please help me out guys, I would really appreciate it!</p>

<p>I'm sure you're in. With a slight increase in your SAT which i'm sure you'll get after you retake you definitely quality for the Deans Scholarship (1/2 tuition)</p>

<p>you'll get in. i got a 2020 (1350) on my SAT and had like a 3.6 and i'm in on a half tuition scholarship. and my 1350 is like 100 points higher than the freshmen classes average lol. i think you're good</p>

<p>We'll let's see! You're in the top 2.5 percentile of your graduating class, pretty good GPA, a little above average SAT score for UM (1340, avg. 1300-1350), good amount of extracurriculars as well as strong caliber of classes. I'd say you're in with 1/2 to 3/4 tuition paid for.</p>
