Chance me for my dream school (NYU CAS)... will chance back

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm a rising senior who plans to apply to NYU College of Arts and Science Early Decision I this fall. I should mention that I won't need to apply for financial aid. </p>

<p>Overall UW GPA: 3.58 with a big upward trend (3.22 freshman year, 3.64 sophomore year, 3.89 junior year. )</p>

<p>My school doesn't release class rank</p>

<p>SAT Score (first try... retaking in the fall again): 2010... 680 CR, 640 math, 690 writing</p>

<p>APs: Government (3 on the AP test... do you think I should send the score?), Spanish Language, English Language, European History, Environmental Science</p>

<p>Junior Grades (electives not included):
AP Government/Politics A-
Honors Spanish A
Honors English A
Expository Writing/Grammar A-
Chemistry 2 A-
Algebra 2 A
Geometry A
(yes, I took both Alg2 and Geometry as a junior because my lackluster work ethic in middle school put me in a math sequence that was far too easy... probably the cause for my awful math SAT score)</p>

<p>Senior Schedule:
AP Spanish Language
AP English Language
AP Environmental Science
AP European History
Trigonometry
Latin American Studies</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
Editor-in-Chief of School newspaper/President of Newspaper Club
Member of Spanish Honor Society (must have A in spanish classes, volunteer experience, pass an oral examination and write an application letter)
Gay Straight Alliance Member
Key Club Member
Computer Graphics Club Member -9th grade
~50 hours of volunteer work</p>

<p>Your gpa is alittle low as well as your sat’s… just work on those and you’re set! Try to aim for a 2200+, and aim for a gpa of 3.7/3.8.</p>

<p>chance back?

<p>Your ECs are good as is your GPA. If you add maybe one or two more leadership roles, you will be in good shape. Your SAT is about average for NYU. I think your chances are pretty good!</p>

<p>Please chance back. My thread is “Review my List… Please”</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I have no idea what “houstonr” is talking about… u dont need a 2200 on your sats to goto nyu</p>

5

<p>Bump! Any more posts?</p>

<p>First and foremost, disclaimer: I won’t pretend to know much about this stuff, as all I know is through hanging around this site and preparing for my own applications/figuring out my own chances.</p>

<p>You’re ECs are fine. You’re GPA shouldn’t be a problem, although only one AP through Junior year might be if you’re school offers a lot of/most APs. You’re SATs are about average as someone pointed out, but it wouldn’t hurt to try to get them up a bit. You are looking pretty good.</p>

7

<p>Unfortunately, your chances are a little slim for NYU unless you can write some outstanding essays that really reflect your EC’s and how you have developed/are continuing to develop as a result of them as well. Definitely retake the SAT, and make sure you take some subject tests as well. </p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>Chance me? :slight_smile:

<p>You guys are overrating NYU so much, the OP is fine, just get the SAT a few points higher and all’s set…</p>

<p>Trust me, LOTS of people I know applied to NYU CAS. I think I know this school decently enough to have substance in my words.</p>

9

<p>Responses seem to be varying a lot… some say I’m set and others are saying my chances are very low. :P</p>

<p>With that said, do you guys think I should send my 3 on the AP Gov exam?</p>

<p>Not many schools will reject someone for one score. It won’t hurt if you send it in.</p>

<p>Again, you’re fine for NYU, these people don’t know what they’re talking about. I’d still try for one more go on the SATs though.</p>

11

<p>you are fine! If you are able to raise ur score 50-100 u are definitely in! Good luck!!!

<p>You’re a little iffy right now. Definitely retake the SAT and get those scores up and keep working on your GPA. Your ecs are great, so keep working hard and I think you’ll have a good chance.</p>
