Colleges and Universities A-Z New York University

<p>Hi everyone im a Sophmore in Highschool and i really have been looking at NYU CAS because i want to go into medical school.</p>

<p>I screwed up my freshman year i ended up with about a 2.8-3.1 gpa :( i know its
awful</p>

<p>I pulled myself together and im probably gonna get above a 3.5 this year and for the next 2 years. Im in all average classes but am going to be in the advance chemistry( 1 level under honors) next year im going to be in all advance/honors/aps hopefully.</p>

<p>I do community service, helping out rec basketball leagues around my town.. helping out at fairs.. and im starting to volunteer at a hopsital</p>

<p>Im also going to be on varsity tennis</p>

<p>I have 2 uncles that work at the NYU medical center and a family friend who is a head of a departmant at NYU CAS </p>

<p>im gonna get above a 2100 on my sats because i took them as a freshman the practice sat, and i got a 1960 so i know if i study and prepare i can get a 2100.. im going to get a few recomendations that should be pretty good one of them being the family friend from the college and my essay should be pretty decent</p>

<p>i also play violin, guitar, and had my own online buisness for an online gaming network</p>

<p>both of my uncles are top notch doctors/surgeons one of which has done an operation on sarah jessica parker. i am inspired by them and would like to follow their paths</p>

<p>i know i screwed up freshman year but dont colleges like to see improvement to show that a student can improve their grades when they set their minds to it.</p>

<p>so if anyone from nyu cas or someone who has gotten into cas can help me out that would be great
thanks!</p>

<p>(excuse my typing and grammatical errors i just wanted to get this over with fast because i had chem hw)</p>

<p>1960 as a freshman is crazy high. Hot damn!</p>

<p>haha thanks.. but do you think i have a shot?
its not just the SAT that matters</p>

<p>yup u do..just continue doing extracurriculars as well..btw is NYU CAS a program for students who wish to get into med schools and all..i'm looking forward to medschool as well..but is it a good science program..?</p>

<p>thanks and yeah from my knowledge its a good premed school along with med school.</p>

<p>im still skeptical about weather or not i can get in... everyone on these forums make it seem like u need 2200+ on your sats a 3.8 in all AP's and Honors and a vast amount of extra cirriculers
is that the reality cause if it is i have no shot :(..i could get the SAT but the APs and Honors would be a bit late.. i could get Honoros idk about alot of AP's</p>

<p>well getting above a 1900 as a freshmen is a huge accomplishment..as far as i know..each year an average student goes up 200 points..which means that by the time you're in your junior yr u can manage to get a 2300 if u continue practicing. if you have a few APs its good, honors is good too..but u still have time to get in more APs..</p>
