“For my major, I had to submit a portfolioMay 20 2011Other
For my major, I had to submit a portfolio of my work. With the help of one of my high school music teachers, I put together a very-carefully crafted portfolio that showed a wide range of my musical talent. Make sure that everything you submit if professional and showcases your best aspects.

“I have a 2Apr 05 2011Undecided
I have a 2.6 GPA at a competitive prep school all regular classes but a 1800/2400 on my SAT's. Lots of volunteer work, my sister went there, great essay, showed interest by interviews and calling, I'm captain of 2 sports at my high school, and I've worked at my dad's medical practice doing insurance billing for the past 2 years for a few hours a day after school.

Also, if you feel like your borderline, apply to the school like the day before the deadline. I feel like early on if your borderline that they judge too quickly, but once they realize how many students aren't going to attend Drexel that were accepted, they loosen up a bit.

Good luck and come here. don't be socially awkward and you'll be fine.

I had a killer portfolio for the music industry program so have that fleshed out very well. Also the higher your testing scores the higher your scholarship. My GPA in high school wasn't so hot but my ACT scores were alright and I got a nice scholarship.
