Hi guys! I just got an email that my admission decision is coming out soon, so I need brutally honest opinions, I really don’t want to get my hopes up. I originally applied at Rose Hill, with a political science major. After visiting the Rose Hill campus about 3 weeks, my mom did not like the location, so she made me change it to the Manhattan Campus, and I also took it as an opportunity to change my major to film and television, another passion of mine. I have not been approved of the change yet, so I have no idea which one they will consider.
Here are my stats
GPA: 4.43
ACT: 26 (super embarrassing, I’m not the best test taker)
EC’s:
-Volunteering at a local non profit
-an associate producer on a morning show,
-a graphics designer at the same station of the morning show is on,
- Co founded, designed and marketed a pop up business (escape rooms)
- Part time caretaker and ABA trained for my brother with severe autism
- Did after school art curriculum and teaching for disadvantaged kids for 2 years
- Helped Organize free photo Xmas photo sessions for underprivileged families 3 years in a row
- Did perform and Tech in musical theatre, Freshman, Sophomore and Junior Year

In october, I left regular public school for medical reasons, and wrote my essay about this.
