<p>PS: Any suggestions on colleges that are appropriate to my profile?</p>

<p>A high SAT and SAT II scores does not make up for a lacking GPA under any circumstance. NYU would probably be a high match/low reach. The fact that you’re an international student makes American university admissions an enigma.</p>

<p>Do you need financial aid? NYU might give you anywhere from 5 to 15, and that might be all in loans as well. Also you’re an ORM which gives you a disadvantage on top of being international. I would still apply to SCPS ED and see what happens.</p>

3

<p>i would like to perceive that as a good school for me to apply as ED. (correct me if i’m wrong)</p>

<p>okayokay then if i don’t apply for FA (cuz i’m not), is that giving me a bigger chance? alsoalso, is it possible to transfer from SCPS to CAS or Stern?</p>

4

<p>Not worth going to NYU for hotel management at NYU. It’s still somewhat new. If finances don’t matter then I would say apply to Cornell, Purdue, Michigan State. Cornell and Purdue would probably be your favorites for academics and social. Since Purdue and Cornell both have a high korean student population.</p>

5

<p>You can transfer to CAS or Stern; however, it is EXTREMELY difficult to transfer into Stern.</p>

6

<p>okay okay thanks (: </p>

<p>so back to my original question: what are my chances for NYU SCPS -ED or NYU CAS -ED???</p>

7

<p>your test scores are sick! i’m pretty sure the admission officiers would see that your a much smarter person than what your GPA reflects and grant you admission!</p>

8

<p>haha thanks i’m trying to make up for my gpa (which is actually not going to happen but)</p>

<p>BUMP</p>

9

<p>random but on topic with standardized test scores - does someone with is a 28 on the ACT have a chance as a regular decision applicant or not?</p>

10

<p>BUMP bump buMP</p>

11

<p>Cornell would have issue with a G.P.A that low.</p>

12

<p>how will it be raised to a 3.3? Your senior grades wont be a part of your GPA if you apply ED.</p>
