1

<p>rising senior. wanted to hear some feedback.</p>

<p>Male

<p>SAT: First time Math - 710, Reading - 730, Writing - 770
takin it my second time october.</p>

<p>SATII: Korean - 800, World History - 710
Taking Math2 soon. </p>

<p>AP:

<p>Taking Calculus BC, Statistics, Computer Science AB, and Physics next year. </p>

<p>Major ECs:

Science Olympiad for 3 years (Hoping to be an officer next year)
Various Honor Societies</p>

<p>Over the summer, I plan to do some volunteering and internship.
What can I do to strengthen my application?
My recommendations will be ok ~ good.
My essay I am sure will be awesome. I hope to appeal the fact that i am tri-cultural so I hope to represent NYU's unique diversity. I am pretty good at writing. </p>

<p>I've lived in the US for 7 years now.
Prior to living here, I lived in Korea for 5 years and Chile for 5 years.
I am fluent in English, Korean, and Spanish.
My native is korean though.</p>

<p>NYU is my first choice. so I am applying ED.</p>

<p>Looks like i will be going into economics, pre-law, engineering, maybe international relations. obviously i do not know for sure. But how much would it affect me if i apply as undecided.</p>

<p>you're in...your scores are great and above NYU's average...don't worry too much. The only thing you'd maybe have to worry about is being waitlisted b/c they think NYUs a safety for you...but not if you apply ED</p>

<p>thanks! i was actually worried with the drastic increase in NYU apps this year. Oh could some people also chance me for U Chicago and Berkeley? Thanks.</p>

<p>What is the unweighted GPA? This would be useful. Like others have said, your chances are pretty good. The SAT II in Korean is also a huge plus (really good hook)</p>

6

<p>my unweighted is prolly low somewhere around 3.68~3.7? But NYU recalculates GPA.</p>

7

<p>Berkeley, however, will look at both. I think, however, since your UW GPA is pretty good that you have a decent shot at Berkeley.</p>
