QUESTION: Yes. Thank you......I actually have one more question, what is a great college in LA to go to if I want to pursue acting. Besides UCLA because I can't get into it with my grades.

Answer
Hey there, Steven...

Great.  I am glad you have some help and encouragement.  :)  

Have you tried looking at Cal Arts? One of my colleagues and friends just finished her MFA there.  She really loved the school and highly recommends it.  Bachelor's degrees are available there as well.
