Emerson is my dream college, no doubt about it. I've wanted to go there since I heard about it my Junior year of high school, but by then I knew it was too late. I finished high school with a GPA of (make fun all you want..) 2.5, and my SAT scores weren't the best in the world (between reading and math, 1100, including writing, 1700). It's not that I'm not smart, because when I put effort into my world I'm extremely smart, it's just I'm sort of a procrastinator. I've just graduated high school this June and I'm attending community college this fall, and I plan on getting my GPA to around a 3.5 or higher, cause this year is all Business. Now, I plan to apply to Emerson as a transfer next year (after I have one year of grades under my belt). I've got a strong connection with an Emerson alum, I'm heavy into theatre, I'm a great writer so my essay will be great.
My questions are:
01. How high do you think my GPA will have to be this year to have a serious shot of getting into Emerson after one year as a transfer?
02. Should I retake my SATs, even now? I have no problem doing it, I'm just wondering if it's necessary.
03. Is there anything else I can do to enhance my chances, cause this is my dream.
