I am a junior in high school, female, caucasian, and live in N.Y. My SAT superstore was a 1620 (horrible I know, but I am taking it again in a month). I am going to take the ACT in october. My weighted GPA is a 3.7 and I am taking four International Baccalaureate classes, all of which I get grades in the 90’s, high 80’s. I am also in Honors Marine Biology. I want to apply to the USC Screenwriting program. I have already co-written a full length screenplay in which I am co-directing and am starring in. I am hoping to get this project completed by september. I am also currently writing another screenplay on my own.
I am the president of Film Club at my school (that I started)
I have been a member of youth court for two years
I have acted in two school productions
I have acted in a Stonybrook college two actor skit/play
I am currently waiting to see if I got into National Honors Society(But I think I will)
I have volunteered, three years in a row, at an internationally known Film Festival
I got into, and went to a Screen Acting program at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts
I got into, and this summer will be going to a Musical Theatre, and Contemporary Text program at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts
What do you think my chances are of getting into USC? I really, really, really, really want to get in! I visited the campus and went on a tour in december and I fell in love right away. I am going to apply with no financial aid too, if that makes a difference (but I don’t think it does because they are ‘need blind’).
Thank you so much! Any advice and any tips on how to make myself look more interesting to the USC admissions people would be greatly appreciated!
