(Hopefully will have a job at a expensive steakhouse soon)</p>

<p>I am currently taking AP Physics, and AP Calculus, and will be doing a Career Mentoring course, hopefully with a local design or advertising agency.</p>

<p>As you can see , I have not done a whole lot that I can write down. I can probably put together some sort of portfolio with my movies in it, but I want to know how they respond to people in my situation, who don't have a very impressive record, but can at least show off some of their experience in the field through a portfolio....will they even get to looking at it? Is it going to be a really tough run for me to get into this?</p>

<p>Sorry,but getting into DAAP will be a reach for you. I won't say it will be impossible (thus you should apply),but it will be a reach.</p>

<p>Generally, you need about a 3.5 or better or top 10-20% of your high school class. Your SATs are also a bit low. Try to improve your SATs by 100 points and you may have a shot. Also, if you don't get into DAAP, Cincinnati has a pre-DAAP program that you would be eligible for. They do allow some transfers from the pre-Daap into DAAP. You would need to get at least a 3.5 overall at Cincinnati to make the cut.</p>
