:
I don't mind if i get LSP'd (in fact I would love to be LSP'd). Just want to get accepted. It's one of the top schools I would like to apply too....
Also applying to PSU-UP, UMIAMI, Tulane, UTampa, RutgersU(Newbrunswick), Binghamton, St. Johns, UPITT, Tufts, U Delaware, UMaine, Hofstra, Stony Brook. If I am accepted into any of these universities, I plan on transferring to Columbia or NYU so I can remain close to home. If i get rejected, I'll apply for a transfer again the year after.</p>

<p>My stats are as follows:
3.02 UW GPA
3.2xx W GPA
Workload - Semi-Challenging (Took math and science honors throughout 9-11th grade)
APs:
AP CHEM/PSYCH/MACRO/MICRO (last year (scores weren't that great 2-3s)
AP STAT/PHYSICS B/CALC AB (this year; dropped AP SPANISH; HUMAN GEO/ ENV. SCIENCE) </p>

<p>SAT: 1960 (Super Score); Retaking on the 6th and hoping for a 2200+(aiming for a 2400).
SAT2s: Bio E 660 (retaking in December, along with Physics and Chemistry. Hopeing for a 750+)</p>

<p>EC's:</p>

<p>Internship at my father's friend's hospital abroad where I will be working with different types of patients, doctors, nurses. Will be doctor shadowing various fields but will be focusing on a kidney specialist, who is my father's friend, for 3 weeks. </p>

<p>Plan on taking photos and creating a presentation which I will present to my family friends and hopefully raise an estimated 2000 dollars for the hospital. </p>

<p>4 Years of Mathletes, FBLA and 3 Years of another club and 2 years of another and 1 year of Science Olympiads (first year it became official)</p>

<p>Participant of a Novel Contest (Registered. Happening throughout November)</p>

<p>4 Years of Tennis (out of school)
1 Year of Karate ( 9th grade)
OTHER:

No hooks.</p>

<p>ESSAYS/LoRs:
Very Solid Essay which will describe my experience during my experience at the hospital or my internal 'fight' i had with depression and all and how I have improved.
LoRs: One from my s.s. teacher from last year and my guidance counselor. I didn't have many options to ask my teachers since I never really developed a decent relationship with any of my teachers besides my s.s. teacher and my guidance counselor knows me inside out (was my middle school counselor at my old school before I moved to this place).</p>

<h2>MAJOR: Deciding between Neural Science or Biological Engineering with a minor in Law and Society or Arabic.</h2>

<h2>ALSO should I let NYU know of my mental health? I don't know if I should consider it an advantage or not but I am being treated and am performing a lot better.</h2>

<p>If you tell them about your mental health problems, it’s a very slight maybe.</p>

<p>Fact of the matter is that you fall within the 25% percentile for SAT scores at CAS. And your GPA is far below average (3.65 for NYU overall; higher for CAS). On just those stats alone, I would say there’s just no way. If you were to tell them about the mental health issues, then you might stand some chance.</p>

<p>Thank you. Hopefully I can some how magically get a 2300 which will def. increase my chances by a ton.</p>
