Lowish GPA but I think you are a match!</p>
<p>stats aren’t far off from mine
3.35uw 3.8w
2130 super scored</p>
<p>great ec’s (debate/music/sports)
internship, 2 jobs, etc etc</p>
<p>did u apply ED? that would help a lot… although I’m still counting that I’m gonna get lsped… nervous as hell this week</p>
<p>Your SAT adds up to an 1870, not 1970. You have good EC’s, but your test scores and GPA are on the low side. Any SAT II’s and/or AP grades?</p>
<p>which school are u applying to? CAS?</p>
<p>Wow got my own SAT score wrong…I know it’s an 1870 I just couldn’t type 
I applied to CAS yep.
640 and a 580 on Subject Tests, pretty bad, I know.
Since I’m not a Science or Math person, the only other option was English Lit or Spanish.</p>
<p>Yep, I applied ED. I’m praying for an LSP, but it’s really so hard to tell.
I’ve dreamt of going there for so long… I’ll be crushed if I don’t get in, but I know I’ll eventually get over it.</p>
<p>Someone on here said they received a letter today but it was addressed 12/9 so we may find out tomorrow!
Colij, your SAT scores are a little high for LSP I think. Generally (but not all the time!) I thought it was for applicants lower SAT and GPA. Again, not always like that though
Thanks!</p>
<p>Can you chance me? </p>

<p>@hellothere:</p>
<p>Your GPA and EC’s are obviously great, but I just think your standardized test scores will kill you. I think LSP is your best bet.</p>
<p>That’s exactly what I was thinking. I am not so good as standardize tests.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>I agree.
I think you’re a great LSP candidate, and definitely have a shot at full on Acceptance.
NYU makes it very clear it isn’t all about tests.</p>
<p>I am hoping for that. I guess we’ll see on December 15.</p>
<p>Thanks for chancing me and I wish you lots of luck!</p>
<p>im saying 50 50 chance you get LSP’d</p>
<p>but now, check it and provide some respect</p>

<p>Essay:
Ask, and I will PM you, but once you read it, you’ll **** bricks.</p>
<p>chance the **** out of me</p>
<p>Your GPA seems a tad bit low for full on admission…but everything else points to that!</p>
<p>I agree. Everything looks good arsenalrc15 besides your unweighted GPA.</p>
<p>Did you apply ED?</p>
<p>yea i did ED, i saw your stats and id be happy to chance you for Fordham</p>
<p>your GPA is very impressive, but it is offset by your test scores.
however, its good to see you had great essays and rec’s.</p>
<p>Fordham looks like a slight reach/almost a match for you. its impossible for me to give you a final decision though.</p>
<p>oh and for NYU, you may end up LSP’d.
again, i have no real idea because with stats like yours, it comes down to the adcom’s preferences</p>
<p>I don’t love your chances, but I think if you presented the extra stuff in your app like EC’s and honors in a way that doesn’t give the admissions rep that sense of “this is a bunch of bullshiit” then I think you have a shot. We have the same GPA but NYU knows my school better than any other high school in the world and understand the difficulty, I hope for your sake that your school is difficult.</p>
<p>^^ for the original poster</p>
<p>Well as much as i don’t want to get rejected, I know that with scores like that it is quite possible it will happen. I actually took the SAT’s over agian and did worse. Thanks for all the feedback, I feel like I have a chance even if it is a rough one.</p>
<p>I am actually really glad I found Fordham because they accept lower SAT scores which would be pretty great, and they are still in the city.</p>
<p>Thanks Woosah.
Yeah the Valedictorian in my class has a 5.1 GPA so I’d say it’s pretty difficult.
We have the highest number of people in NHS in years.
Presenting my ECs in a good light was tough. I’ve worked so hard for the positions I hold, whereas others simply join any and everything for admission purposes. I didn’t know how to show how much I cared without seeming like one of those yuppies.</p>
