aspiring business student--what can i do to prepare to applications--tips please!

<p>hello, im a hs junior, im applying to college this fall!!
my #1 school right now is NYU's Stern school of business. its not an ivy league so i think i have a good chance. but anyways, i wanted peoples insight of how i should spend the rest of my school year and summer. im an aspiring business student so i will be interning in a home mortgage/financing company, got it set up already and im excited because its business related, and volunteer wise, im actually starting to volunteer in the emergency room at a huge hospital near me, and im already volunteering at my local animal shelter...but both these things dont have anything to do with business...what else can i do? what other things can i do business wise related to show nyu that i do have a passion for business...any ideas to set me apart from the others. btw im planning on ec and volunteer and essay to help me out because my gpa is high (3.9 uw) but my SAT's SUCK (1800/2400)...im mexican so i hope that helps, but anyway any tips for the summer--business related?</p>

<p>The first thing you should do is go to this site:</p>

<p><a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/profiles/index.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/profiles/index.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Then choose: New York University, and Status: Accepted</p>

<p>You can then look and see the type of ECs and statistics that the average accepted student at NYU had prior to applying. You can do the same for the Rejected students as well.</p>

<p>Personally, I think the internship you have for the summer is fantastic. And the volunteering stuff is good also, though the business internship is the most important thing. Try to do a great job on that job and see, when you are leaving, if you can get your employer to write a recommendation on your behalf when you apply to NYU in November.</p>

<p>Also, use the "ziggy method" to improve your SATs. I'll send this to you in a personal message.</p>

<p>Best of success.</p>

<p>I should have also mentioned that the average SAT at NYU Stern is 1450 on the SAT CR plus SAT M (they dont' look at the writing score according to what I'm told).</p>

<p>yeah thats pretty high, right now, i think the only thing holding me back is my CRAPPY ASS SAT scores because im so bad at these tests, urgg. maybe i can explain to them because i have gotten above 90 on all my NYS regents and a 5 on ap spanish, and im takin ap us next month and except to get a 4</p>
