“Icon, let us start with the basics. There are many awesome schools in your neighborhood (Emory, Vanderbilt, UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke, UVA, Davidson, University of the South, Washington and Lee, Georgetown, University of Georgia, University of Florida etc…). What do you wish to major in? What are your grades/SAT/class rank like? What ECs do you have? Etc…”

Well, I’m very interested in Film/TV and Photography. I’ve been in my schools Mass Media class since I was a freshman in High School and we do tons of stuff in there (Like, film/edit football games to be shown on Television in our area…Do competition features which get aired all over the area to hundreds of thousands of people…and do a daily news show for our High School) and just about everyone who goes through there has as much knowledge of the stuff as about a 2nd or 3rd year College student and some have even gotten hired over college students. So, it’s a REALLY good program and then I also work at a local Camera Shop so I get a lot of hands on with Photography and Photoshop and also cameras… I do pretty good in school and usually make all A’s with a few B’s here and there. My GPA is around a 3.9. I’m invovled with two different clubs – Y-Club and the National Honor Society, so with both of these I do a good deal of Volunteer work for my town.
