GPA: 3.89
Rank: No rank, (top 10%)
SAT: 680 m/690 v
SAT II: 770- bio e, 760 lit, 700 writ
Classes: Hardest, eight ap’s (Bio-5, Eng Lang-4) and one college course.
Legacy: Both parents went to harvard grad (for psych), my sister went for undergrad 01’, both parents also worked at harvard for a year (we lived in the dorm…for eighth grade) on sabbatical.

Hook: Film. I’ve won state and national awards (including screening at the San Francisco and Atlanta Film Festivals). I recently sold my work to the Sundance Channel. I am in charge of Youth Media at the Ann Arbor Film Festival (one of the top festivals in the country). I am also on the pre-screening committee for the rest of the festival.

EC’s:
Founded, and am president of Model UN at my school. I have six best delegate awards from different conferences.
Violin: state awards…in two orchestras (top chairs, first violins)
Theater: director, writer, actor…
This list keeps going but I don’t want to bore any one of you guys…

Last summer I attended NYU and recieved six credits (A’s on all classes). I am currently dual enrolled at my public high school (2500 kids) and at U of M (where I take a fourth year film class).

List: NYU: Tisch, USC: Cinema, Harvard, Yale, Wesleyan, Northwestern, University of Michigan, Washington U. St. Louis,

At Harvard and Yale I met with professors who are writing to the admissions committee about my film portfolio…should this help?

I am really wondering how my horrible sat’s will apply even with my legacy and hook…and are my sat II’s really bad too?
