se++ we never talk about colleges

how are colleges

are you guys going to colleges

are you applying to colleges

I am applying to many colleges for acting.

about the audition
I went into a room with like ten girls, three guys and most of them had parents.

We were addressed by first the creative manager-type of the school, then the academic theatre director, then the dean of admissions. We were supposed to be auditioning for one person, meaning only one other would be in the room with us.

Three rooms were going with the three people to speak judging auditions - I was the first called for the second room. Stepped in, turns out I wasn't just auditioning for the dean of admissions, but also for the dean of the school and some...guy...that was somehow related. Did my monologues, dean of admissions asked me a question regarding my first one and asked me to do the first half again, then I pulled up a chair and we had a little mini-interview. That was it.

It wasn't as stressful as I thought, but damn.

    You should have actually described the process instead of this.

    film/stage

    C'mon. Get with it.

    I am looking forward to, statistically, making ~$20,000/year.

    I hope I get in to NYU though. I don't know how well I auditioned (felt pretty good), and I have exceptional board scores, but my super-GPA (across all years) is only a 3.51. Luckily, I managed a 3.95 last year and a 4.8 this year, so I hope they'll count that more.

    I want to change my major to Chemistry, Marine Biology, or something like Genetics.

    I am such a slacker though but i'm pretty good at science.

    four AP courses, one elective

    ap courses are all weighted, got straight As.

    the A in my elective brought down my GPA

    Exactly what I keep telling myself. Oh well, can't go back now. I'm pretty sure grad school won't be the same. Just gonna have to keep writing for a newspaper on a remote Alaskan island where 5% of the entire population is my age.

    Oh god.

    confusing shit.

    the worst part is that I came from a school where every single core class follows an AP curriculum but god forbid my new school acknowledge that and weight them accordingly.

    Two years of AP classes weighted, two years unweighted.

    If I had been at this school all along, I would have a ~4.4 GPA over my entire high school career.

    raarrrrgh

    I'm basically hoping that my audition was good and that my standardized test scores impress them enough that they can forgive my retarded fucking high school
