Emerson College is my top choice and I would really like to get in. I’ve been kind of worried for the last couple of weeks and I don’t know where I hang in terms of chances!

From: California community college
Major: Journalism or Writing for Film and Television. Oh, and Marketing Communications. Whichever one, really.
College GPA: 3.4, 3.8 or 3.9 in major related classes, 3.29 UC GPA [if that matters]
HS GPA: 3.5
SATs: 1550, debating to take it again because the other schools I’ve applied to don’t require it at all…

EC’s

50+ hours volunteering at library

1 yr of being opinion editor and columnist of HS newspaper

Link Crew leader

1 yr of being staff writer, opinion editor, news editor, designer, and web editor (at separate times) at award winning college newspaper

1 yr being a junior senator in student government at community college student senate

1 yr (in spring) of being Chair of Marketing in student senate

graphic designer for start-up company’s website

Recommendation is going to be pretty good. Essay is already good. I don’t know what to do other than wait. What’re my chances?
