<p>I'm homeschooled and have been taking 3+ college classes a semester at a local community college since I was 15. Could this effect the decision at all? Like could it make them think I could take college classes and not flunk out and stuff?</p>
<p>Of course it will affect your admissions decision positively. You are more academically qualified so I wouldn’t be surprised if you even got some credit for all of that. Good luck!</p>
<p>I’m hoping!
I’m hoping my application is interesting to them and it helps my chances.</p>
<p>Bump this up! I’m curious.</p>
<p>Kelryry,
Since homeschooling tends to have a more subjective element to it, besides looking at the curriculum you had followed, it certainly is a positive for you if you have outside criteria to “validate” your learning compared to people who go through established and accredited educational programs.</p>
<p>So your standardized scores and, yes, your ability to hold your own and even excel in community college courses (if indeed you obtained high grades in these college courses) should be a positive for your application. In addition, a recommendation letter from one of these college professors would also be helpful, if you are able to obtain one, since this is another source of more “objective” evaluation of you as a capable student, as compared to your peers from traditional programs.</p>
<p>I get all A’s and B’s.
My history Professor wrote me a rec as well as an NYU professor.</p>
<p>The recommendation letters from the history professor and the NYU professor sound good since they are from established educational programs. This allows NYU to better compare you and your competencies to your peers who are also applying to get into NYU.</p>
<p>The only thing I’m worried about is my SATs.
I’m not good at standardized tests. They give me anxiety and blah.
I got a 510 on math, a 570 and 600 on the two Englishes.
I’m applying to Tisch though, so they said math is less important.
And I got a 25 total ACT score.
31 and 27 on the Englishes and 21 on Math and Science.</p>
<p>I wrote a good essay though.
The topic was who influenced you the most in life and why/how and I wrote about my best friend who passed last year.</p>
<p>Kelryry,</p>
<p>Oh, I did not realize you are a Tisch applicant. In this case, don’t you also have to provide a portfolio or sample of your artistic/ creative work. I have read that this is a very important factor that may outweigh “below average” standardized scores and grades. Not that scores and grades do not matter, but, apparently, a strong sample of your artistic ability may go a long ways to strengthen your profile as a candidate. And of all the schools at NYU, Tisch admissions is the most forgiving of “lower” scores and grades (not that Tisch do not have many with strong grades and scores, but the creative element is apparently a big component).</p>
<p>I had my audition, yeah.
I think it went well.
I audition for MT and the guy was smiling the entire time and was really impressed by my vocal range.</p>
<p>Kelryry,</p>
<p>The “feedback” you sensed from your audition sounds like some good vibes on a particularly important aspect of the Tisch application.
Also, if you did indeed write a strong essay and received strong recommendation letters,
you may have more strengths in your application than may first appear, based on your standardized scores. Regardless, it is now a waiting game. I wish you the very best. You have given it your best shot now.</p>
<p>I’m hoping!
NYU is the only school I really want to go to.
I have an interesting story too, I would say.
I got Lyme disease in 8th grade, tried to brave freshman year not knowing what I had. (Three lyme blood tests show up negative. We only found out when I got Bell’s Palsy) and eventually had to drop out and start homeschooling.</p>
<p>More opinions, pleasee!</p>
