Chance This: Early Grad with Unconventional Work Experience

Chance Me / Match Me
1

<p>Hello! Thanks in advance for reading my post :)</p>

<p>I graduated with the class of 2009 as a junior. I decided to take the next year to pursue my career as an actress and to give myself a financial boost for college in 2010. After that, it’s back to school for me.</p>

<p>Over the past three years of high school I have worked on and off, sometimes leaving school for two months at a time for roles. I had to work incredibly hard to maintain my grades, speaking with my teachers every day I was gone. I don’t have hardly any extracurriculars as a result… so I hope admissions can see past that.</p>

<p>Anyway, here are my stats:</p>

<p>school: public
sends many grads to top schools</p>

<p>unweighted GPA: 3.86
weighted GPA: 4.4
SAT Reading: 730 (I took these at age 15)
SAT Math: 640
SAT Writing: 710</p>

<p>I’m taking the SAT subject test in November.</p>

<p>AP Environmental Science: 5
AP Art History: 5</p>

<p>Journalism Honors Society
Have lived/worked in Japan, England, Germany, France, Italy, New York</p>

<p>Applying to:</p>

<p>Columbia
New York University
UC Berkeley
Barnard
Maryland - College Park (Safety)
Northwestern
Cornell</p>

Columbia=reach
N’Western=maybe
Cornell=reach
UC Berkeley= OOS, reach </p>

<p>good luck to you. </p>

<p>that is really cool that your an actress… I am sure this would make up for your lack of ecs if you, especially if you list some of your important roles. I would suggest retaking the SAT to get 2100+ at least. I think you have a shot at your colleges</p>
