<p>Apologies for the caps - we are totally thrilled that our son was accepted as a screenwriting major!</p>
<p>After the disappointment of no mail yesterday, there was joy at the portal in Iowa this morning.</p>
<p>When he clicked on Admission, there were new boxes for enrollment deposit and admitted student events.</p>
<p>Financial aid was unchanged – it still says “in progress.”</p>
<p>The letter confirmed he’d been accepted as a screenwriting major, which is almost beyond belief! There are so few of them - only 24 per year! - that we thought if he had any chance at all, it was to be admitted as an English or Creative Writing major, with the possibility of minoring in screenwriting.</p>
<p>Stats:
3.95 W/ 3.67 UW (including all classes, such as band)
34 ACT
Scholastic Gold Key for dramatic writing
APs: APUSH, Bio, Chem, Calc AB, Lang & Comp, Lit & Comp
Writing samples: We thought they were pretty incredible, but then again, we are his parents. Apparently SCA liked them too! :-)</p>
