What are my chances for CM Acceptance?
I have a 33 on the ACT (36 English, 35 Reading, 34 Science, 28 Math), but I have a 4.08 Cumulative Weighted GPA (my school doesn’t do unweighted). This is what I am most concerned about (GPA) as I have two C’s from sophomore year (darn you, Honors Chem). Hoping to hike up my GPA a little next year. I am currently a junior and will have taken 6 APs (all 5s so far). I’ve also taken 3 honors courses and 1 IB. My school also does not provide class ranking because we have 5,000 students.
As for extracurriculars:
-been doing musicals (including paid equity theatre) since age 9
-varsity show choir for 3 years (we are ranked in the top ten groups in the nation)
-a cappella group for 2 years
-have volunteered in Haiti
-regularly volunteer teaching kids at church
-member of NHS
-participated in many theatre intensive programs (Interlochen, State Conservatories, etc)
-worked as a cashier for a year
-regularly babysit
-honor thespian in state thespian society
If I were to apply (which I plan on), I may consider auditioning for the MT program.
Anyone out there with knowledge about CM admissions: should I get my hopes up? Anything I can do to make myself a better candidate for the school?
Thanks so much!
