I was top 1% of class for both freshman/sophomore and b/c i jacked up my junior course loads (i was retarded okay...) i ended up with straight B+s and 2 Bs junior year (i'm a bit worried about this...think this might hurt a bit)</p>

<p>SATs: M-750 ; CR-680 ; WR-790 (only this doesn't matter) = 1430/2220</p>

<p>PSATs: M-76 ; CR- 69; CR-68 = 213 (Commended Student...do they look at this?)</p>

<p>I'm pretty big on ECs...</p>

<p>1) XC/Winter + Spring Track: every season for all 3 years so far (Varsity in State Lineups)...NJ State Shore Coaches X.C. Invitational 2006 BOYS JV A 24th place, 1600m (sophomore) PR was 4:53.1...my running career took an unfortunate turn right after xc junior year (misaligned ligament in ankle)...but this XC coming up, we hope to get into top 10 in State. (last year we were 19th). I have a supplement letter from coach. i'm not fast enough for recruitment for Division I schools...but how much would my times help me getting into like NYU i don't know (cuz they don't recruit...)</p>

<p>2) Table Tennis :: Current NJ State Ranking for 17 year olds: 7th place / 95th in country...(the thing is that i stopped competing after 2005 cuz i had track...so how much will this help i don't know) I will begin TT again at college cuz i won't be running no more...</p>

*National Honor Society lol</p>

<p>....yea....that's all i have....i think wut hurt me most is my junior year grades...that and being asian...</p>

<p>one thing that might go for me is that my dad works for NYU (medical school)...aka FREE RIDE...HOWEVER i think this might actually HURT me...cuz if u think about it, NYU is TRYING to MAKE money...and seeing that if they take me it'll be a LOSS on their part, it might make me unappealing...idk</p>

<p>Teacher Recs will be VERY GOOD...
Essay was okay. </p>

<p>PLLLLLLLLZ be honest...thanks for the time (i realized that this is a long post...)</p>

<p>50 views and NOTHING?!...c'mon brothas</p>

3

<p>In for sure.</p>

4

<p>which school are you applying to anyway? cas? stern?</p>

5

<p>hum. CAS...cuz i really wanna go pre-med...(which is why NYU's my first pick...med school doesn't really look at where u go undergrad [I CHECKED] unless u go to like college no one's heard of...NYU is a great school AND save $200,000) =)</p>

6

<p>get yourself a subway ap it looks good!</p>

7

<p>thanks...(may be a stupid question...) subway ap? wuts that?</p>

8

<p>good luck, it tooks good if u are going to pre-med</p>

9

<p>how do you save $200,000 by going to NYU?</p>

10

<p>yeah...it the first time im hearing someone saving money by going to nyu...</p>

11

<p>well...my dad is faculty there...so i get a free ride...(think i mentioned this) and since undergrad prestige doesn't matter all that much in medical school admissions (NOT that NYU is a bad school don't get me wrong. its a great school), i think saving 200,000 and go to NYU is a GREATTTT deal rather than say IF (big if) i got into like an ivy or sumthin</p>
