Hey everybody.

I just need some more people to pray for me as I wait my letter which is coming in the next few days.

Here is what I wrote in an old discussion before I applied.

quote:
Here's what I have.

3.0 GPA
1690 SAT
4.0 1st quarter senior year GPA
1 Within school film award (most outstanding film of the year)
1 regional film award (best original narrative comedy in capital region media arts festival)
One of my films was accepted to be screened at the Westport Youth Film Festival

My video teacher essentially wrote me an epic novel for a recommendation

I am currently the VP of student congress
the Historian of Chemistry Demos (and was also last year)

I am submitting a DVD portfolio with 2 films on it.

One, Batteries Not Included, is the one that won all of those awards.

The second, is incredibly different. It's called Last Light and should be done by the end of this week. It's a drama/music video using Broken Social Scene (feat. Feist): lover's spit. it's kind of Half Nelson-ish.

Here they are on youtube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REJUxmV-o6M < Last Light

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcJaVXmGDPs < Batteries Not Included


And with that, I thought I should add the fact that I was the only one of my competitive high school's seniors to apply there. I talked with the regional assistant director of admission when he came to talk to us.

It has come down to either me going to RIT for web development stuff, or going to Emerson for digital post production, which is what I want to do.

I've never thought about college being anywhere other than Emerson, and I fit in perfectly.

Please, if you could, reevaluate my chances of getting in.

I'm horrified.


-Matt

I think I'm just worried about becoming part of the 11% of the 47% of the accepted students with a GPA in the 3.0-3.2 range. Frown

Hi. I'm awaiting my letter from Emerson as well. It is one of my top choices but, like you, my hopes are not very high. My SAT's are okay, but my grades are out of range. I was disheartened to hear that they have put more of an emphasis on academics rather than the portfolio and extracurricular activities.

We will see, though.

This year there were too many incoming students and the school ended up housing some of them in hotels. They're putting more emphasis on academics nowadays because its becoming a more popular school and they have to be more selective.

For the university or the specific major? Either way, my sympathies.

Don't give up hope yet. You weren't rejected.
