Chance me for NYU, Cornell, Macaulay Baruch (WILL CHANCE BACK)

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>STATS:</p>

<p>SAT highest single sitting: 2090 (1450 M+R)
Superscore: 2200 (not sure if going to use superscore*)
GPA: my school doesn't do unweighted but about 98.5 weighted
I go to a competitive, NYC specialized school</p>

<p>*I scored a 1960 on my first SAT (610M, 600R, 750W) and 2090 on my second (730M, 720R, 640 W). My dilemma is since some schools superscore, I was thinking of sending both so that my superscore is 2200, however, my M&R for the first test is pretty embarrassing and despite superscore I'm afraid that they'll see the low M&R and that will negatively effect my chances...any ideas?</p>

<p>Extracurricular Activities: </p>

<p>Multiple clubs like Key Club
Attended classes at the Finance Museum in NYC
Student Organization (2 years)
Internship at the comptroller's office
Library volunteer (2 years)
NHS
About 150 hours of community service in total</p>

<p>AP Courses:</p>

<p>APUSH (5)
AP Calc
AP Psych
AP Macroeconomics
AP Lit</p>

<p>SCHOOLS: NYU Stern, Cornell (early decision), Macaulay Baruch</p>

<p>You’ve a solid shot at Stern, but I’m afraid I don’t know enough about Macaulay Baruch to comment. Cornell is a reach(as is the case with all Ivies), but your stats are strong so I’ll call it at a low reach. What about your essays, letters of recommendation and subject tests? </p>

<p>I feel silly for forgetting to include that haha:</p>

<p>Subject Tests
Math I - 710 (yeah I screwed up)
US History - 750</p>

<p>Essays are pretty solid
Letters of recommendation: one is good and the other should be amazing </p>

<p>& thanks! I’ll chance back :)</p>

<p>The Math I curve is really brutal, so 710 isn’t horrible per se. But yeah, could definitely be better. Still, I reckon you have as good a shot at Cornell as any other highly competitive applicant.</p>

5

<p>Definitely use your superscore. They pretty much only look at the highest score and most admissions officers know it can be a some days good other days bad type thing. You would be hurting yourself for Cornell to not do that.</p>

<p>Honestly your AP course-load and extracurriculars are kinda lacking. I don’t think this is a problem with NYU, but it might hamper you with Cornell.</p>

6

<p>All right! It was mainly NYU I was concerned about w/ superscore since Cornell requires all scores anyway!
Thanks guys :-)</p>

<p>I think you are competitive to all three. I wouldn’t be surprised if you got into all three.</p>

<p>please chance back

<p>Thank you :)</p>

<p>NYU looks good except maybe for Stern, but I’d say Cornell is a low reach! Good luck!
