"I decided I wanted to be a film student the summer before senior year.

I had a GPA of 3.3 and had very little EC.

Boston Marathon 3 years
Anatomy Club 1 year
Writer’s Block 1 year
Literary Magazine 2 years
Junior Statesmen of America 2 years
Stock Club 2 years
Vacation Bible School 2 years
Year Movie <- only for senior year

my SAT score was 1870

I wrote my script for the creative submission the night before and the essays the night before.

I paid the application bill and I went to sleep. This was the last day it was due.

The day after at 2 PM I’m checking my email and I find out I paid but didn’t submit my application. I FREAKED OUT.

I gave the admission staff a email stating why it was a day late.

Keep in mind I also applied to only four colleges. NYU (first choice) BU (only because friend told me to) Ithaca (I like Ithaca) and Emerson (2nd choice)

I would have applied to USC but…that was WAAAAAAAAAAAY out of my league.

My first quarter grades senior year were Horrible.

Physics Honors: D-
AP stats: D-
AP BIo: C+
Intro Calc Honors: D+
Spanish 4 Honors: B+
English Level 3 (AKA idiot english. I needed an easy class): A
Physical Education: A

A few months later I got rejection letters from BU and NYU. I was furious.

Then I got accepted to Ithaca and I thought I’d be going there. I thought I had absolutely no chance of getting into Emerson.

A week later I got my Acceptance letter from Emerson!!!

I was so PSYCHED!!!

So never lose hope."

that’s what i wrote in another post.

You don’t have to go to Emerson. It’s not USC or NYU lol. If you don’t get in don’t get depressed over it.

Also give yourself the BOTD and work hard on your essays and creative submission. that’s what got me in.
