<p>Please chance me, I know my post starts off bad but I am hoping I still have a chance please read all of it. I really want NYU: </p>

<p>I have legacy because my mom graduated from NYU with 3 masters degrees from NYU Poly and she worked there briefly as a research consultant. </p>

<p>I am trying to write outstandingly stellar essays so that my IB grades do not weight me down. </p>

<p>My IB courses currently are:
HL Bio
HL Psych
HL English L&L
SL Hindi ab
SL Math Studies
SL Chemistry</p>

<p>I had an upward trend in 9th and 10th grade but in 11th grade I switched to a boarding school in a different country and my grades significantly dropped (from straight 6s to 4s and 5s) and I had a really long and hard adjustment period. I am planning on explaining this on Common App. </p>

<p>My recommendations are from an old chemistry teacher in my old school with which who I performed well with and my current math teacher and psych teacher both of whom I asked to write about my difficult transition. </p>

<p>I also attend a prestigious boarding school. Although I am a NYC Resident (I know it wont help cause NYU is a private school, im just putting it out there) as well as a US Citizen who lives abroad. </p>

<p>I am applying to NYU to their Core LSP Program.</p>

<p>No need for financial aid.</p>

<p>BUMPP! Please let me know, I am particularly concerned because I have one 2 and a couple 4s on my transcript (equivalent to a F and a couple Cs)</p>

<p>I think that drop in grades is going to hurt you a lot but you still have a fair chance because of your legacy and the IBs. Just make sure your essays are really strong because they may be the deciding factor</p>

<p>I had a drop in grades at the end of my junior year but I brought it up the first semester of my senior year. Will that improvement look good or will it just look like a drastic change in grades?</p>
