I go to High School in NYC. It’s a college preparatory school and it’s extremely competitive. These are the schools I want to go to:
Columbia
NYU
Macaulay Honors College- CCNY
Hunter
Fordham
Barnard??
Unweighted GPA: 3.6
All my classes since freshman year have been honors or APs
Senior year, we take actual Queens College classes (2 for the year, plus 2 semesters of Humanities class, basically college level English)
SAT: 1st time: 1890 {640CR, 590M, 660W)
2nd time: 2130 {700CR, 640M, 790W) (not superscoring because all my scores went up)
ACT: 30 (going to take it again)
SAT 2: Latin: 680
U.S. History: 680
Going to take Math 2
I’m South Asian and in a family of four, the income is $35,000
I have two (possibly three) letters of recommendation
I have at least 3 clubs I have been committed to
I have above the maximum number of volunteer hours and community service
I got the Gold medal for the National Latin Exam
What are my chances of getting into these schools?
Also, is there a chance for a full-ride in any of these schools? I know I should give more information about my financial status like assets and stuff, but I don’t know the numbers so please don’t ask and try to estimate if you can?
My parents have always pushed me to do better, but it’s hard when you don’t have the resources.
