<p>You don’t go to Styuvesant, do you? </p>

<p>Anyhow, I think you have a great chance at every one of your schools. UChicago, Hopkins, Columbia, and Dartmouth might give you some trouble, but you’ll get into at least one of them. Not that it matters, because I’ll bet you get into NYU ED.</p>

<p>Probable Major: Economics

<p>The hooks are great, boards are Ivy material, and given your high school is really that renowned, you should be fine academically… the EC’s present an issue though; they’re great, but you don’t really have any leadership, which could present its problems at very holistic schools like Tufts, Carnegie, Dartmouth and Chicago</p>

<p>This is all pretty much redundant though, given NYU is a pure #'s school… and if your HS GPA is equivalent to a 97 at a typical public HS, you can wear that NYU sweatshirt on Dec 15 :)</p>

<p>Please chance me back!!</p>
