Hello!
I’m currently a rising junior in high school (c/o 2020), and i’m wondering if i’m on the right track to getting into my dream school - NYU Stern.

DECA competitor (I’ve only done it for a year so far and qualified for states but not ICDC hoping to improve in junior year!)
Sophomore Class Secretary
Junior Class President
Hoping to become ASB President next year!!
Looking at my portfolio, I think my main trouble spots are my GPA and my ECs. The B’s I got in my GPA were from second semester Algebra 2 in freshman year (B+), and Honors Precalc (B-) and Honors Chemistry (B+) both semesters in Sophomore year. I haven’t really done a bunch of math competitions or anything either so that might be a rough patch for my ECs. My standardized test scores should be able to hold on their own, but I do plan on taking SAT Biology this next year as well. Do you guys have any suggestions for me? Any activities I should try out or summer camps/internships that I can look into? Any help is appreciated!! Please and thank you
