<p>So I'm planning on applying ED to NYU Stern...
getting GSP/LSPed is totally awesome, too.</p>

(I want to take the SAT's again, but will the november test date be too late for ED?)</p>
<p>SAT II:

<p>EC's:

<p>I'm Korean by ethnicity, but an American citizen.
I attend one of the top 10 (according to stats) boarding school in the US.
And I live in Hawaii, if that helps at all.</p>
