<p>Sorry - The spacing I put into the above stats didn’t stay with the post, it’s hard to read. Also, I feel the need to clarify part of my previous post and it’s too late to edit:</p>
<p>“The Popular Music porgram is new - the standards aren’t yet established.”</p>
<p>Obviously, the faculty and administration of the Thornton School has standards in mind for the students they admit to this new program! What I intended to say was that because the program is new, there will not be a standard PROFILE (academic and musical level) of the students accepted. </p>
<p>Kathy, regarding your concern for academics - quite honestly, at this point, there is nothing you can do about your high school GPA. Work hard to get the best grades you can at your community college as you progress. Use the community college opportunity to demonstrate how well you can do! Also, focus hard on the musical aspects of your application - put together a great prescreen and be prepared for a super audition. Work forward to put together the best personal profile of yourself that you can!</p>
<p>Best luck!</p>
