<p>ABOUT MY SUBJECT TEST SCORES.
I took it only once and that was June this year. I was not thoroughly prepared for any of the tests, especially physics because I only took one beginner course on physics. I've studied since then and I'm ready. I'm taking the December Subject Test for the same subjects and this time I KNOW I will do better. Don't rate me WITH the SAT subject test scores because I already know I will be rejected from CMU and NYU for those scores.</p>

<p>CMU and NYU are my dream schools. I have the SAT scores for these schools. I'm just not good-GPA wise. I've written quite a essay and a supplement. So try and factor those in.</p>

<h2>Drexel and Penn State. I'm just wondering if I should use those as my safety schools. I'm "pretty" sure I can get into Penn. I'm not so sure about Drexel.</h2>

<p>About Drexel and Penn State - I think you are pretty much in, with scholarship too. </p>

<p>I would say you have a good shot at NYU, your 2170 is very good!
Btw, what do you mean ‘got my friend into stanford’? lol</p>

<p>The NAVSEA program looked REALLY good on his transcript. Stanford really liked the fact that he took part in such a program. Does getting my friend into Stanford count as “work experience”? lol.</p>

<p>Drexel and PS i’d say def in, are you hoping for Schreyer at PS? and for CMU, its iffy but i’d say its a good choice for a reach. if its CS/CEng might be a higher reach. and also… are you tryin to do the NYU/NYU-Poly dual degree for Eng? It may be in your best interest to either pick one or the other, or major in physics @ NYU (thats what i plan on doing, that way i have more leniency in what i do after undergrad). anyways, i’d say NYU is a fairly good chance of acceptance. I’m very similar to you actually, so I sincerely hope its a target lol</p>

<p>@yayoiii i think he meant the NAVSEA got his friend into Stanford</p>
