Another NYU question

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Right now, I'm a Junior. I'm at a private school. 4.0 GPA. I took the SAT in March and got 690 Math, 780 Reading, 765 Writing (2235 total). </p>

<p>My extra-curriculars are limited. I did Mock Trial this year (but I joined late, so I was only participating for about 6 weeks) and newspaper (again, I joined late), but that's it.</p>

<p>I transferred into my current school from a public one right after Winter break last year.</p>

<p>For the first 3 semesters of high school my GPA was a 1.8. I was suspended Freshmen year for smoking marijuana (I should have been expelled…)</p>

<p>I had a part time job when I was 15 and 16.</p>

<p>NYU doesn't offer interviews, so the only chance to explain myself is through a personal statement.</p>

<p>I was thinking about applying Early Decision.</p>

<p>Even if my personal statement is decent, my record is still going to be bad. Do I stand any sort of chance?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>765? I don't think there are increments of five on any part of the SAT.</p>

3

<p>This is made up. Even if I didn't see the "2235" SAT score.</p>

<p>Especially because he said he had a 4.0, when the first three semesters were a 1.8...</p>
