Looks like you’ve worked hard and done extremely well. Yes, you’d be a good bet for UMD and Sarah Lawrence. BU has gotten much more competitive in recent years, but you’re obviously a great candidate. Same with CPSLO. Run the NPC for all your schools. BU has a reputation for not giving much financial aid, and I know from first-hand experience that that is the case at NYU, although obviously you should check the NPC so you can check for you own personal info.

You’d be very well-qualified for all these schools. It’s just they can’t accept all the well-qualified students who apply. I like to cite a visit we did to a tip-top LAC. They said 70% of applicants were well qualified and would succeed academically and otherwise at the school. At the time, it accepted 14%. So 4 in 5 applicants the school thought well qualified could not be accepted. It’s a supply/demand thing that makes admissions so challenging at the most popular few score of schools.

And note the comment above that admission rates can be very different if an applicant has to apply directly to a specific program, like film.

Yeah, definitely check out those two. Colorado College may or may not work out for you with its one class at a time schedule. Chapman, especially, could be a good possibility. I know a student who chose Chapman specifically for some sort of film studies. I haven’t been there but talked to them and their dad a lot about it. Sounds like a great, well-connected program close to where a lot of films get done, in a nice little downtown area, with great weather. I’m not sure at all about how will it does working with students with disabilities. Good luck!
