<p>ECs So Far
+ State Science Fair: yeah, i know, whoopdeedoo, but I proved/reproduced the chemical instability of da Vinci's Last Supper by recreated the paints, testing them with his plaster and am recreating the painting on my own. AND IT WAS MY FIRST TIME...so it was exciting for me since i've always sucked at science and this was my first honors science year...

+ NHS
+ NAHS (National Art Honor Society) two years...they don't induct until junior year but i was an exception or something
+ active in set building/constuction/stage design for musicals, plays at school; designing set for the play my friend is writing this summer
+ minor coordinator for SOS Taste of the Nation
+ piano
+ eating (haha) </p>

<p>This Summer:
- intership at Medical University of Ohio (don't ask, I don't even know how I did it with my scientific inefficiency...I am the bane of every science teacher's existence)
- Pre-calc at a college or something
- intern at Sunoco Oil Refinery (i'll be a secretary...sending data)
- Graphics: I'm the school's lab rat for "advanced options" or something...i don't care but it's NOT summer school and I get credit for doing art
- bus decal (we make Toledo look less offensive to the unready eye by painting TARTA buses with super artisticness...actually they do look really cool
- work at For the Love of Art Studio (he consented since I basically live there)
- take college class for math </p>

<p>Senior Year
- Honors Science Rearch: we work with NASA...I AM ONLY DOING THIS CLASS because Hoj, this sweet old lady, teaches it and without me it will die because I'm the tenth person or whatever and i CAN'T SAY NO TO HER because she is the ONLY science teacher at the stupid school who know's what she's doing
-Honors Religion
-AP Psych
-AP US Govt
-AP Lang and Comp
-Design
-Honors Art
also going to sign myself up for the AP Studio Art test myself, might as well..., will do tennis again, and NAHS Secretary, and on Class Council (swtiching from Student Council because of the evil people there) </p>

<p>Brown and RISD are my dreams, with Tufts and Yale...but they are dreams...my family wants me to go stay in Toledo BUT I <em>WILL</em> DIE if that happens...I just couldn't get over how wonderful the people were at those places. Columbus College of Art and Design was so snotty and rude, and OSU was so impersonal--I felt like a number and I wasn't even a student!</p>

<p>Don't be so melodramatic (title). Haha. If you thought you had absolutely no chance, you wouldn't bother posting a chances thread, right? :)</p>

<p>I see some delightful things in your EC's, such as "art studio for 8 years." Highlight things you have been committed to for a long and/or have a strong passion for.</p>

<p>It's a reach, but, it's YALE! Apply. You have nothing to lose if you’re adamant about receiving a rejection letter ;)</p>

<p>(I know you mentioned other schools. I just commented on one that seemed to really interest you).</p>

3

4

<p>SATs? 10char</p>

5

<p>Haha you might as well try!</p>

<p>Bowling Green and Art Institute of Cleveland both have strong art programs and are in Ohio.</p>

<p>My advice: LEAVE OHIO for art! You'll get stuck teaching high school art, seriously. Art takes as much networking as anything else and Ohio Schools are ver limited in this respect. I have a very talented friend who got a full ride to OSU GRADUATE Art school and he's really struggling in NYC because the network is so weak. He wishes he could have gone back in time, taken out loans, and attended a top school like Yale or Cal Arts. Its night and day.</p>

<p>AMEN. oh gosh, i wish you could talk to my parents...they want me to go to UT (University of Toledo), and I realize it's making great jumps with the Toledo Museum of Art, but it's just not fast enough for me and I CANNOT stay in Toledo! </p>

<p>...math...eh...i'm about as incompetent in math as i am in science. Totally forgot to post them actually. Frenshman year: C/B Sophmore: D--A+ (haha, the teacher couldn't teach and got replaced), this year A...but will be a B for the final quarter...ack....</p>

<p>yeah, i guess i'm looking for some uplift...hence the post :) Hey, everyone needs comfort every now and then....:D</p>

<p>Where the heck are your math classes?</p>

<p>see my last post ::points:: all integrated (we have so many levels of math at my school, like five, integrated is split into honors level integrated, accelerated integrated, and basic integrated...and that's just the integrated level). im in accel. integrated. this year is Integrated III; i'll be taking honors pre-calc over the summer.</p>
