I am senior who withdrew from highschool early on in second semester for personal reasons. I am a hard worker
and my work is reflected positively in my GPA, SAT and acting work. I am applying for BFA acting programs throughout the United States and England. I have just received admission to Chapman and although I am not intending on going to Chapman the acceptance letter alarmed me a little due to my current situation. It said quote

“Finally, Daniel, we are confident that you will continue your high level of academic performance throughout the remainder of this year. This offer of admission is contingent upon your continued success. The Undergraduate Admissions Office requires that an official copy of your final transcript be forwarded upon completion of your work. If any member of the admission staff can assist you in the days ahead, please do not hesitate to write or call.”

Since I have withdrawn my plans for getting into college are a little unorthodox. I have completed my GED with an honor s score and I plan on talking to the one college I ultimately decide to target, which will probably be around April 5th. I will notify them of my situation and the theatre chair (I went to an arts academy) from my previous school will also write a formal referral for the reasons of my withdrawal and reasons why I should be a part of their program. Financially I am very capable, I have created a positive record for college admissions in all aspects aside from withdrawing second semester and receiving a GED. What do you guys thing of this approach ad the outcomes it would have if I were to confirm my acceptance with Chapman. Any tips, or insights would be appreciated.

On Chapmans page it does say

• Applicants who did not graduate from high school must submit official GED (General Education Development) or CHSPE (California High School Proficiency Examination) docu- mentation indicating a passing score, in addition to a transcript of all high school work completed.

so I know they accept GED’s but I am still unsure about my chances
