Business degree vs arts degree. Can I still get a creative job with my business degree or is it too late for me?
Hello everyone! I really am passionate about the arts, specifically film and I do a lot of editing, art and design stuff on my free time. I did illustrate a children's book for example back in high school, however, I did end up choosing to major in business and management for uni. I guess my question is if it is still possible for me to have a creative career in the future, perhaps as an art director, graphic designer, maybe somehow working in the film industry (if there are any others please mention them as well)? At the time, I chose to major in something other than the arts because I have to be able to have a form of "safety net" and because of my background, I figured an office job will also help me with stability and to continue pursuing my dreams. However, now almost a year later into my course I am worried that I closed doors for myself and I won't be able to have any sort of creative job at all. I feel a bit lost and worried right now, because as much as stability is important for me and I want to be able to take care of my parents I also have this deep ache in my heart that I cannot do what I love the most.
Should I address my upward curve in my college app?
I'm currently a high school sophomore and I'm doing much better than when I was a freshman. When I was a freshman, the worst I'd get was straight C's with a few B's here and there. I raised my GPA from a 2.8 to a 3.1 on a 4.0 scale. Currently, as a sophomore, I'm excelling in all my classes and I don't have anything lower than a B+ on any of my classes. When applying to college, should I address this upward curve whether it be on an essay or interview? #college #college-admissions #college-advice #college-application
Should I put community service/clubs/etc. that aren't necessarily in my career path on my college application?
I plan on studying pharamceutical sciences and anything related. I am in a few clubs and organizations that will give me experience and show that I am dedicated to my decision. However, I'm also in other clubs/organizations that are more or less recreational and have little to nothing to do with pharmacy. Would it be wise to include these in my college application? #college #college-admissions #college-advice #college-application
Can I get into a good school if I did average in my freshman year?
I'm not planning on going to any super exclusive university like Cornell or Yale. My dream school is NYU but, last I checked, only around 30% of applicants get accepted. I didn't do as well as I could've my freshman year, but so far, my sophomore year has been nothing but A's and high B's. Is it possible for me to get into a school like NYU even if I didn't do so well in my freshman year> #college #school #college-application #grades
