I don't know whether I want to participate in the LEAD Business Program or do theatre in the summer time.

I love theatre. I've done it all 3 years of high school (I'm currently a junior). I've always landed significant roles in the high school productions. I've scored the lead role for this year's One-Act competition production. I can do Lakewood, which is America's oldest theatre -- up here in Maine. I think I'd get a relatively good role for a new-comer.(not to sound pompous).

However, I also want to do business when I grow older. My parents run a small business too, so I've always felt this attraction for the business world. I think I'd like to attend LEAD (that's IF I make it in... I heard it's pretty hard for Asians to get in) to get more insight on the business field-- to see if it's something I really want to do.

Either way, both look appetizing to me, both seem equally fun.

Sadly, it boils down to : what looks better on my college application?

By the way -- is it really that much harder for Asians to get into LEAD?

Thanks for your time.

I'd say theatre because it shows you're dedicated. You should focus on your passion for theatre in your college apps.

You'd be really good for NYU. And maybe you can minor in business or something. NYU has one of the top business programs in the US.

But to answer your question, go for theatre like ^ said.
