I’m most likely going to audition for USC Thornton for Jazz Voice. I’m an Asian Male, I go to one of the best high schools in the country and best in my state. Other schools I’m thinking of are UCLA, U of North Texas, U of Miami, and some conservatories, but USC and UCLA are my top choices

My GPA 3.61 (UW) 4.71(W) and an Academic GPA of 3.53 (UW) and 4.74(W). The thing is I got a C in AP US History both semesters Sophomore year, a C in Japanese, and D in Chemistry 2nd semester. I They were all borderline grades, but I messed up on finals cause my grandmother passed away right before finals, and her funeral was the day before finals. I managed to get all A’s junior year though, so there is a dip in my grades. My school only offers Honors and AP classes except PE.

My test scores are good, I got a 35 on the ACT and 2300 on the SAT.
4 on AP US Exam, 5 on AP Music Theory, 5 on AP Human Geo, 5 on AP Lang

My Extracurriculars are
