2

<p>You are as good as Gold, or perhaps, platinum.</p>

<p>Good Luck,</p>

<p>Jerod</p>

3

<p>how do you sleep with all those ap classes?</p>

4

<p>try sleeping with the teachers!</p>

5

<p>Assuming that you live in California, you have a good chance at USC and maybe at Stanford. I’m not so sure about Columbia, but other ones seems ok to you. Good Luck!</p>

6

<p>Christ…you’ll get in anywhere</p>

7

<p>Those are really excellent stats, but there’s one problem: there’s no AP called “AP Senior Literature.”</p>

8

<p>same as with american literature</p>

9

<p>what the f— are AP senior literature, and AP American literature?! Never heard of them! Not once!</p>

10

<p>At DD’s school, 11th graders take Honors American literature, then sit for the AP English Comp exam, I think that is what he means. Non-AP Seniors take Brit lit, but the honors class is a “real” AP - AP Senior English, and they sit for the AP Eng Lit test.
He’s naming the tests by what his school names the classes.</p>

11

<p>I see, that makes more sense now.</p>

12

<p>Yeah, that makes sense. But, it’s kind of weird why the original poster has only one post? I recall a poster a long time ago posting as a black male but falsifying his stats. I’m not saying he’s not qualified due to race, but it’s kind of suspicious if this is a repeat (there were nearly 4 or 5 posters who had nearly the same statistics, and all of them were proven fake).</p>

<p>If it is true, good job - I’m sure you’ll get into any school you’d want.</p>

13

<p>My bad man. Those stats aren’t fake i just am not a regular on the site. My brother told me to post up stats to get some feedback and I did, thats all. Sry if there was any doubts or confusion.</p>

14

<p>im curious…</p>

<p>your ec’s dont show anything remotely related to music…</p>

<p>why did you take ap theory?</p>

15

<p>You can get in anywhere :slight_smile: Are you the first in your family to go to college too, because you’re in if you are.</p>

16

<p>sorry i forgot to specify…i have played the piano for 10 years. I also played the trumpet for three years.</p>

17

<p>I’m sure you’ll get accepted anywhere you want :slight_smile: So, do you have any particular university you like in particular?</p>

18

<p>Its a toss-up between USC, Columbia, and Northwestern (pretty much ranked in that order but Columbia and Northwestern are more of a tie)</p>

<p>i know stanford is a reach</p>

<p>occidental is a safety</p>

<p>nyu is a slight reach</p>

19

<p>I just wanted to warn you. I attended Tisch this summer and the admissions people told us they accept 4% of applicants…usc is even more selective(I think 2%)…Are you applying to tish and the cinema school (at usc)…or just the regular schools? If you are applying to nyu-cas and usc normal school, you have a great chance but the actual film schools are much more difficult to get into (and you have as great as a chance as anyone…) Good luck.</p>
