I’m applying for the journalism program

stats:

GPA 2.8 UW (I know, I know. Affected by unmedicated ADD and father’s terminal cancer diagnosis)
Have taken AP’s, scored 4’s
SAT: 760 CR, 710 W 580 M (2050)
EXCELLENT letters of recommendation
Took comm. college classes during Jr year, made 3.7 GPA and on Dean’s List over both quarters.
I am biracial (hispanic and white) and go to a public school where the average gpa is 3.25

I’ve had a lot of success in student film, I’ve won 10+ awards in state, national and international festivals including 1st and 2nd place at a national college festival, official selection of Seattle International Film Festival and National Film Festival for Talented Youth and 2 Northwest Emmy Nominations.

I also have interned at Seattle Intl Film Festival for 2 years and founded and run a youth film committee of 23 other kids there.

I am copy editor of my school newspaper and have done very well in DECA, placing at state for 2 years in a row and I’ve created an ad campaign used by Seattle Public Utilities.

My essays are also very strong. I know it’s a long shot.

Thanks.
