have you maxed out on APs at your school?

what kind of colleges are you looking at?

and it's ENOUGH.

as a music/theater major

Music/theatre major? Do they even look at academics? Are your auditions pieces good? Isn't that the more important question.

ENOUGH --- COURSE ugh.

usually you have to meet min. requirements for the school and then apply to the theatre dept....but kinda like athletics if you're really good the department head can get you in.

try to take as many APs as you can handle and/or CC courses.

GPA is important.

UC irvine will be hard to get into if you're not from CA b/c there's really restrictive enrollment caps starting next fall. i'm assuming Cornell is your reach?

oh and colleges will look a lot more at your junior year...how was that? what classes did you take? what grades? etc.
