<p>LOL. Modest, aren't you? Keep up that attitude and you'll get rejected to every one of those schools. Learn some humility. Never say anything of yours is "incredible"; let others judge objectively. Your music "mastery" has not led to any significant awards. Your ECs on the whole are weak. Your ACT is low too, and none of those schools superscore it so it is a 29. You have only taken 3 APs so far. You have no SAT or SAT ii scores to report to us.</p>

Hahahaha. wow. More like an admission officer's nightmare. Even without the pomposity, I do not give you a good chance to the schools you are applying to. With that pomposity, I'm predicting rejection.</p>

<p>I was trying to be sarcastic haha.
Not pompous at all.</p>

<p>nyu is random. that being said you got a great chance or rejection :)</p>

<p>yes... you got to love the fickleness of NYU admission. What I just said is probably false though, you can't see someone as a whole from their statistics, whereas as admission officers you have much more to consider.</p>
