I've decided that my first choice school is Emerson. I toured there last Wednesday and just fell in love with their program. It's basically everything I like about all the schools I've toured rolled into one giant package of awesome. So of course, that means it's really hard to get into. At first, I was like, "Oh, I'm not going to get in. It's totally pointless. I shouldn't even apply." But now, I've decided to come at it with a more positive attitude. I have the test scores to get in; that's no problem, and on the common app's info section that's the only area that's marked as "very important". And everyone who's read my essay for their Theatre Ed program seems to like it (though I am reluctant to show a lot of people because it's SO freaking dorky) and even I'm pretty confident about it. My GPA isn't the best, but according to Collegeboard.com's stats, 10% of students that go there were in my bracket and 5% were below mine so I'm not entirely hopeless.
It kind of sucks how my friends are like, "I AM NEVER GETTING INTO COLLEGE DLFKJADLKFJADS I ONLY HAVE A 3.9999 GPA!!!!111!!!11!" I'm kind of being a hypocrite about this because I was just like that too, but having a positive change in attitude is hard being surrounded by all of that negativity. I am not even telling some of my friends that my first choice is Emerson because they will laugh in my face.
But whatever, I'm going to keep going through and try to keep this positive attitude. If I don't get in, then oh well. There are other good schools that have the major I want that I will get into that I like. It's all going to be okay (or at least that's what I'm trying to tell myself).
