Completely lost and in need of advice.
So I just finished high school in June. I completed all graduation requirements with an 83.5% average in grade 12 university courses.
During my first semester and half the second, I thought I was going to Trebas in Toronto to do the music production programme. Not too expensive, and I wouldn't need amazing marks to get in. So I slacked a bit and finished my first semester with a 79% average. Then, during the second semester, my interests changed (long story) and I suddenly found myself wanting to go study Theatre @ York University. About a price different of $30k, and a lot harder to get in to. So, I pushed my average up as much as I could to 88% (from 81% at mid-semester) by the end of the year.
I figured now I would take a year off, work full-time, party a little, etc. etc. Now I originally thought I would move back to Toronto sometime in the fall. That's not going to happen now. This makes it incredibly hard to find acting work, so I can expand my portfolio, and increase my chances of getting in to York.
So I am thinking of going back to high school for another year, and re-taking a few courses from first semester to boost my average. Also, I would be able to return to the annual SEARS Drama Festival and expand my portfolio.
So, here is what I need to figure out:
If I re-take courses, it shows up on my transcript. Does the fact I took some course twice hurt my chances of getting in to the programme?
Is it really worth going back to high school in the first place? Or should I just concentrate on making money for a year?
Any help is appeciated.
