Y not a LOR from a math teacher. That and the gpa cause a little pause.

Being from CA will help and ED will help.

35 act helps.

I’m leaning toward yes based on solid ECs and one off year maybe due to covid. But yes 51/49.

Make sure you have targets and safeties.

Ultimately only NYU and not this board can tell you.

Yup, I’ve gotten into a couple safeties and targets, including IU Kelley, Fordham Gabelli, Purdue, and some other schools, but NYU would definitely be the dream. I’ve also won the Presidential award for volunteering every year since 2016, but I don’t think that would make too much of a difference since I already included volunteering in my original post

I noticed. 550 hrs. Y I said yes

If u got IU Kelley save the $$ unless u r jonesing to go to college with no campus surrounded by massive crime. U r wealthy. But nyu straddles people with unnecessary debt

Surprised at your choices

They r vastly different. What kind of campus do u want ? Traditional or none. Gw and bu are the typical NYU cross apps
