<p>Awards/ Honors: going to be in the honor society next year, won a religion contest in my temple, which required us to read a textbook and take a test on it. i had received first place and won a 42 inch TV. Principal Lists. Scholar Athletes. </p>

<p>My guidance counselors knows my drive and is going to give me an excellent recommendation letter, my physics teacher will give me an amazing one, the doctor i am currently shadowing will also write me one, and I will try to get the biology professor at NYU precollege to write me one.</p>

<p>Will NYU care a lot about the 79 in chemistry?
Can you also chance me for Stony Brook, Binghamton University, Boston University, Cornell, Berkeley and other business or premed schools. I cant decide between the two majors.</p>

<p>Both are high matches until you increase your critical reading score. Stern especially cares about this, but your significantly lower reading score will be a red flag to CAS too because you are Indian-American and therefore potentially less proficient in English. That’s probably not the case, but I’m not the one you have to convince. Do Kaplan SAT prep this fall. The people sucked and so did most of the lessons, but it increased my math score from 670 to 770. Just take the lessons as seriously as you can and do the practice tests. You have impressive math and writing scores, but unfortunately critical reading and math are the most important.</p>

<p>As for GPA, increase it. If NYU is your first choice, then focus on your objective stats: GPA and SAT. This means that you might want to drop a few ECs. Keep the ones in which you lead the most.</p>

<p>If you want to get into Cornell or Berkeley, you have to maintain all of your ECs and still increase your GPA/SAT. They’re both pretty selective, especially Cornell’s AEM program. You need to show steady academic improvement (gradually increasing GPA/achievements over high school career) as well as leadership in many different areas. Right now those schools are reaches, but you can make them high matches.</p>

<p>Stony Brook, Binghamton, and Boston are matches, low matches, or safeties. If you’re going for business, definitely google “best undergraduate business schools 2013” and check out which ones you would like to apply to. The best ones are usually in the best universities, so premed is also pretty good at those same schools.</p>

<p>Good luck, dude! I hope this helped! If you come up with a list of other schools you are interested in, I’ll chance them.</p>

<p>Thank you. But my junior year just ended so my gpa can’t increase anymore as colleges see it but ill try to get better grades senior year for the half year report. And how bout for the Macaulay honors program and Fordham? Are they also good business schools?</p>

<p>Would you be happy in the Liberal Studies Program? You might want to read that thread as you are attending the NYU precollege this summer.</p>

5

<p>I wouldn’t like to go to LSP. I would prefer to go to CAS for premed or Stern for finance. Do I have a shot for either of em?</p>

6

<p>That’s what I thought, and why I suggested you look at the last 2 pages of that thread. I think the chances are that your application will be diverted to LSP instead of Stern or CAS, given your stats and your attendance at the NYU summer program.</p>

<p>Yeah, the half year report is actually quite important so try and really focus on that. I wouldn’t recommend Macaulay, and Fordham isn’t ranked high enough as a B-school to be competitive in the job market. Consult this chart for sure.</p>

<p>[Undergraduate</a> Business School Rankings - 2013](<a href=“Bloomberg - Are you a robot?”>Bloomberg - Are you a robot?)</p>

<p>Anyway, I’d say Fordham’s a match right now and Macaulay’s a high match. But if you increase your SAT and drop some ECs to increase your GPA for the first half of senior year, you can do better than these schools.</p>

<p>Any colleges you know where I can get a full ride including room and board because my parents are going to pay due to a family situation.</p>
