My incomplete College Plans

First of all I just want to say I don't have a full ride lined up. I have a few thousand dollars from my dad's job that will come in handy. But my dream school is NYU and that tuition is about $40,000 and that small scholarship ain't gonna do much.
I got a composite score of 25 on the ACT plan and I'm very scared about the real ACT. I know it's going to be a lot harder and honestly, the two guys who worked at Moe's that we met today got 20's on their ACT. I have to rock it. Especially to even consider going to a New York school.
My grades are not what they should be. I really want to get a 3.5+ and I'm not there yet. My grades are better then last year but not by much.
I just need to look like an angel on college applications which is why I want to join debate and possibly do a mission trip sometime before I graduate.
My dad also gave me this really cool idea of video blogging on YouTube which:

• Would be fun
• Help me with my acting
• and if i do well, could maybe even get me some money

So I'll think about it. I definitely have the time for it. Considering I would only have to post about once a week. I don't know. I'm not as funny as Ryan Higa or LaToya Forever but I think some people would watch. I hope. My mom thinks there's no way I'm getting into a top notch school. My brother doesn't want an Ivy League college. I do. I can't help it if all the schools I want to go to are top notch. But I have to admit I have to do better to make myself get there.
