Chance me for NYU Early Decision

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I used the common application. These are my stats, tell me what you think.</p>

<p>GPA - 87.5/100 unweighted. My school doesn't weigh averages.
ACT - 28 (34 on the math and 10 on the essay)</p>

<p>I am not going to list my SAT score because the majority of you have only taken my SAT score into consideration, completely forgetting my ACT score, which is significantly higher.</p>

<p>I took two SAT 2's in Math 1 and U.S. History.</p>

<p>I live in Long Island, New York.</p>

<p>I went from an 85.5 average freshman year to a 93 average Junior year, with straight A's including a 96 in U.S. History and a 97 in Precalc (honors by acceleration)
I never got below a B in any class, and the lowest grade I've ever gotten in High School was an 80 in Cooking, which is what mainly brought my whole gpa down.</p>

<p>I did not apply for need-based financial aid.</p>

<p>Courses I'm taking this year and what my teachers tell me my grade is for 1st quarter (even though most of my schools don't factor in 1st quarter grades
AP Economics - B
AP Environmental - A
AP Calculus - C
Senior Seminar English - A
Senior Seminar Social Studies - A
Senior Seminar Business - A
Senior Seminar Art - A
P.E. - N/A</p>

<p>I had no previous AP courses before this year. </p>

<p>I'm Founder/President of the standardized test club. </p>

<p>Group Leader of The Friendship Circle</p>

<p>EMT volunteer at the local fire Department</p>

<p>Secretary of the Reaching Out (community service) club</p>

<p>A bunch of other ECs</p>

<p>No sports</p>

<p>Outstanding reviews from every teacher/college alumni/relative I showed my personal essay to.</p>

<p>2 teacher recommendations, 1 recommendation from my boss at the library (she let me read it and it is outstanding), and 1 guidance counselor recommendation (I am confident that they are all positive recommendations).</p>

<p>70 on my Hebrew Regents
94 on my English Regents
98 on my Global History Regents
94 on my Earth Science Regents
87 on my Chemistry Regents
96 on my U.S. History Regents</p>

<p>"I'm Founder/President of the standardized test club. "</p>

<p>seriously? how many members you have?</p>

<p>bump bump bump de bump</p>

5

<p>I'm Founder/President of the standardized test club. </p>

<p>This looks awesome, elaborate?</p>

<p>I took the ACT and scored a 28, 93rd national percentile. My friend took the SAT and scored above 2000. We decided to combine our knowledge and create this club to help people with both tests, for free.</p>

7

<p>I called it the SAT/ACT club on my application</p>

<p>bump</p>

<p>Hasn't the ED deadline passed? You're grades are low and so is your ACT (a 28 isn't high) and if your ACT is significantly higher I shun to think what your SAT is. I think you'll be rejected or GSP'd. </p>

<p>I think you'll get in at Syracuse, BU CGS, GWU and Saint Johns.<br>
No need to apply to Columbia.</p>

<p>Recently I applied with a 28 ACT to Tulane University in New Orleans and I got in, you might also. I once wanted to apply to NYU with my 28 ACT but I then reconsidered. But, in October I retook the ACT and scored 4 points higher so I'm now applying to NYU and if you could try to do the same (retake the ACT), your chances of being accepted at NYU will skyrocket!</p>

<p>I've heard of Tulane but I'm not interested in going that far away.</p>

<p>hahahahaha "standardized test club"? that sounds soooo bogus.</p>
