Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I’m using the common app because I’m transferring from a community college to a 4 year university. There is a section called colleges & universities under education and it asks you to “Mark all that apply to the courses affiliated with this institution”:
Course taught online
Course taught on college campus
Course taught on secondary/high school campus (excluding AP/IB)
College credit awarded
Degree candidate

(If yes, please have an official transcript sent as soon as possible.)
So I don’t know if I should check off college credit awarded. When you take courses in college for credit wouldn’t it be college credit earned? Confused here. Please help me out

I want to transfer to a college back in my hometown. I used the common app and the topic was “Please provide a statement (250 words minimum) that addresses your reasons for transferring and the objectives you hope to achieve.”
Please give some feedback here is the essay:
I graduated from Oyster River High School on June 10, 2011. As soon as early August came around I turned eighteen and moved out to California to pursue my career in acting. Education has always been important to me so I knew before I moved out I had to enroll. By August 25th, I found an apartment, bought a car, and began taking classes at Glendale Community College as a full time student. I created my school schedule accordingly so that I would have time for acting classes, auditions, and meetings with my agent. I’ve been taking care of myself financially without the help from parents or any other relative because I enjoy being independent and on my own.
I’ve been an actor since the age of five. I remember booking my first national commercial and shortly fell in love with acting and film. I’ve worked on many movies and commercials while doing some theater on the side. I created my own website and joined the SAG and AFRTA union affiliations after booking two national commercials and a PBS kids show called “Fetch! With Ruff Ruffman.” I filmed twenty episodes over the course of a few months. Throughout high school I was very busy driving down to Boston and occasionally flying out to Los Angeles and New York for interviews and auditions.
I did a lot volunteer work that was usually during school and required me to fly out of state. For jobs that were union affiliated there was a set teacher present. For jobs that were not involved with the union including college indie films and volunteer work, a set teacher was not present. It was hard to keep up with school work but I was getting educated outside of school with something I loved to do. Senior year I decided to take a break from acting to focus on school and raising my GPA. The first semester of senior year I made high honors and was on the varsity tennis team. It was difficult to raise because GPA is included in all three previous years of high school of which I was more focused on acting. I plan to put education and academics at the top of my priority list because I want to become a University educated actor.
I plan on transferring to a university, specifically Plymouth State, after completing this semester at Glendale college. A few weeks ago I flew back to New Hampshire and visited your campus for a few days and loved it! It’s so beautiful. The ambiance on campus is incredible. Being on campus made me realize that I want to take a break from acting and attend a university. Acting will always be there. After graduating I plan to return to California and continue with acting only this time with a college degree in business. Acting is business of which you have to sell and market yourself. I have real world experience in business and marketing which brought to my attention that business is what I plan to major in. Plymouth State is known to be strong in business and performing arts which fits my needs perfectly.  

I applied to Ivy Leagues, UCs and a CSU…
I got three B’s and two C’s my junior year because I was struggling with financial and family problems at the time. I let the UCs know this through the application but didn’t mention it with the Common App for the Ivy Leagues because there was no section for it. But I don’t think colleges takes “excuses” anyway so I’m not sure if that even matters…
SAT I: 2070 (Reading: 740, Writing: 720, Math: 610)
ACT: 29 (SAT equivalent of over 1900)
Math II: 550
Literature: 640
Biology E: 690
World History: 600
AP World History score: 5
AP Composition: 4
AP Biology: 4
AP US History: 3
AP Chemistry: 1 (worst class during my junior year)
UC/CSU GPA: 4.13 (top 10% of class)
8 APs and 2 Honors English classes
The summer after my junior year I attended Brown University for a pre-college program. I’ve been doing journalism for our school newspaper for two years, played piano for 10 years, participated in Science Fair for 8 years, and have done recreational dance for 10 years. I’ve volunteered at my local hospital for 3 years (with leadership positions), at two retirement homes (two years for the first, and one year for the second), Community Food Bank, and planting trees at River Restoration. I’ve joined the effort against the war in Uganda with a school club (3 years with leadership), along with 10 other school clubs that focus either on ethnic awareness or community volunteering.
I’m very dedicated to community volunteering and leadership; I suppose that’s my “niche” if I get accepted. I want to be a doctor to combine this passion with my love for biology (favorite class in high school and exposure to this environment with my volunteering, among other reasons). I still have to go through interviewing with an alum, but with my statistics do you think it’s possible I have a competitive chance to get into the colleges I applied to? I know I messed up that one year but I’ve become a much better student (and mature person) since then… I have the possibility of getting one or two B’s this semester of my senior year but the rest are all A’s. Thanks 🙂
