College Exploration on Naviance

The two colleges I am thinking about right now are Yale University and Julliard School. This are the other two colleges that I am going to research about: UCLA and AMDA. This are the categories that I am interested in: The GPA, the SAT scores, the ACT scores, tuition and fees, applications accepted, number of people who graduate from the college, and the majors that each college offers. This colleges offer acting so that is why I am interested.

        Julliard School     Yale University UCLA AMDA
The GPA      doesn't say      4     4    3.14
 The SAT scores doesn't say   2225  1940   1540
The ACT scores  doesn't say    32      28     22
 Tuition and Fees $33,630 $40,500 $12,686/ $35,564  $30,260
 Applications accepted    7%    7%    26%    31%
 # of people that graduate    89%     96%    90% doesn't say
Majors college offers Bachelor's and Master's degrees. Master's degree in Acting.  Non of the majors work for me.  Certificate and bachelor's.

My GPA from last quarter was 3.51 without the PreAp bump. This is the GPA you need to get in into AMDA: 3.10. The GPA to get into Yale is 3.85. The GPA to get into The Julliard School is non. Julliard doesn't require an exact GPA not even an exact SAT score. It is just about an audition. The average GPA to get into UCLA is 3.75. I am very close to get the GPA required to get into UCLA. I don't need an average GPA to get into Juilliard. I am not that far to get to the average GPA to get into Yale but achieving this will require a lot of work. I already have the GPA required to get into AMDA. I  probably have a very good chance to get into Juilliard due to the fact that they are looking for a very well written essay, some recommendations, and a good interview. They are not as interested in my SAT, ACT, and GPA. I really don't stand a chance in being accepeted into Yale University. The scores of both the ACT and SAT are very high and the GPA required is a 3.85. I have a very high chance of getting in into the AMDA because the GPA, SAT, and ACT scores are not so high. If I continue to have the high scores I have, I will probably get in very easily. I have a medium chance of getting into UCLA because if I achieve the GPA they require and  my SAT and ACT are high enough I could get in. 

After searching for colleges today I learned that what we ame for soemtimes seems easy but when you actually start to work for it you find out is much more harder to achieve what you want. I also learned that some of the colleges I wanted to apply are just to hard to get accepeted in and maybe that will not be the best option. But that doesn't mean I will not ame for some of those colleges. That also doesn't mean that I will ame for some lame university as well. This also taught me to keep aiming high and that in order to achieve your goal you have to work for it. This will change my student habit somehow. I will get better grades in order to get a higher GPA.

Dear Ms. Shawn,

I am sorry I am late for the past to classes. Last time I got confused and went to German's class. Today I was late because last class I was with you so I thought I had German today. But according to him he had free period and I had class with him today. Please excuse my two tardy. This will never happen again.

Sincerely, Nicolas

Google Day # 4

The main goal of the day is to finish the game.

We are going to achieve this goal by working together. We are going to continue adding different backgrounds as the if they were the different levels until the character reaches the enchanted castle where the Blue King that was kidnapped is located. We have already finished the setting were the character begins it quest. It has some villains he has to fight, it is surrounded by mountains and some houses, and the path he has to take in order to get to the castle in black so it is easy to follow. Here are some pictures of the main setting.
