Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hello everyone, im kind of losing hope here, but i need to know a couple of things.</p>

<p>3.3 unweighted GPA
Full IB schedule of AP IB diploma classes
3 years basketball for school
boys state 08 california attendee
2 years ASB (Associated Student Body-Leadership) appointed PTSA Representative and then elected senior year as ASB Secretary.
Full IB DIPLOMA CANDIDATE
FBLA Club Conference Member for 3 years.
SAT subject...math and eng are being taken in oct
SAT 2090</p>

<p>This is not a complete list of my stats, but these are my most important. My GPA is terrible because i was going through a rough time junior year, partly personal, and partly my workload, and i got 3 c's, i redeemed all of them to b's by the second semester but their impact has hurt my GPA dearly. I am a white male from southern california and i want to major in economics. </p>

<p>I am applying early decision to NYU because it seems to be the school i am best fit for in terms of the environment and the direction of my career. I am also applying to carnegie mellon, michigan, chicago, usc, upenn(wharton) and other great undergrad business programs. </p>

<p>Do I have a chance at any of these places? I am a bright student, despite my numbers, and my drive to excel is like no other. Is NYU going to be possible, are any of the schools i mentioned possible.. I want to major in econ so i know what i want to do. </p>

<p>Any opinions...it would be much appreciated..
Thanks</p>

<p>What is your weighted GPA?</p>

3

<p>4.1 weighted at my school</p>

4

<p>Which school are you applying to in NYU? </p>

<p>We're basically in the same boat. </p>

<p>I have a pretty icky unweighted and a good weighted.</p>

5

<p>Im applying to Stern, they have a good program, and i like their choice of degrees. I dont know if im like reaching, or im right on target. I cant judge these things anymore.</p>

<p>Eek Stern</p>

<p>Stern will be a reach. You have a very low GPA for stern (most people who get there have around a 3.8-4.0) and low SAT (Avg SAT Math and Critical Reading is 1440/1600) for Stern as well. Write good essays!!!</p>
