I’d be open to the option of Public History, let me check out DePaul’s website. I unfortunately am not looking to move back to CA, as much as LM looks great, not for me unfortunately.
As for history and playwriting, I considered them separate for the sake of undergrad, but the vast majority of my works (aka: what I will end up submitting to these colleges as a part of my portfolio) is historically-based.
I don’t think I ever saw a response to my question on your rigor.
What sciences will you get through in HS and what is the highest level of math?
Thanks
You are not going to submit a portfolio for many of the schools on your list. You MIGHT submit an Arts Supplement (which would be MUCH shorter and more condensed than a portfolio) but most schools of Arts and Science are not going to ask for- or indeed read- a portfolio for a History major!
I think many of the schools which would be great fits for you are significantly less pre-professional than you think they are. Take a look at the major requirements- you are going to have a LOT of time to explore literature, art history, political science, statistics. These are not going to be places to “hone your craft” at playwriting to the exclusion of the other elements of a liberal arts education.
Don’t slice the bologna too thin!
Have you thought about Drexel? It offers a major in Screenwriting and Playwriting (and minor in either). Depending on your historical interests, Philadelphia is a great place to be. Additionally, Drexel has a big focus on co-ops, particularly useful to get experience for your resume for either major.
U. of the South (aka, Sewanee) is known for its creative writing program and offers a playwriting track within it and is also strong in history.
U. of Cincinnati (OH) could be another school to investigate. It offers a certificate in screenwriting. Also, there is a Critical Visions certificate that I found through the history department that sounds like it could be up your alley:
The program has two primary goals: (1) Increase students’ understanding of what is at stake in how we see, including the social and political ramifications of advertising, art, media, science, and popular culture, among other dominant and subversive visual forms and visualizing practices. (2) Develop new artistic, media or design forms and practices that intervene in dominant ways of seeing and explaining the world. (source)
I believe he went to Wesleyan…which could be another school to consider, which would probably fall within the “reach” category for you.
Sorry! By the time I’m done I’ll have done Bio, Chem, Physics, and Advanced Bio. Math will be up through Calc AB.
Ok good. That won’t be an issue then.
Safeties should be 100% chance of admission for you.
