Chance me for NYU Stern :)

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Note: Also could you chance me for Columbia as well? :)</p>

<p>Country: Canada
Ethnicity: Chinese
Citizenship: Canadian
Sex: Male</p>

<p>Class of 2013
GPA: 4.0/4.0 (midyear report), 89.33/100 (term 1)
SAT (superscored): 2010
Breakdown: 630 CR, 760 Math, 620 Writing
SAT II: Math 1 and Math 2, both 740.
Class Rank: N/A</p>

<p>Previous AP exams: Psychology (5)
I plan to take the Statistics 12 AP, Calculus 12 AP (AB), and English 12 AP exams in my final year.</p>

<p>Senior Course Load:
English 12 AP, Statistics 12 AP, Calculus 12 AP (AB), Human Geography 12 AP, Spanish 12, Planning 12 (half year course), Infotech 11 (Half-year course), two spares</p>

<p>ExtraCurriculars/Volunteer/Work Experience:
-Canadian Ten-Dance Champion for competitive ballroom dancing
-Runner's up for Latin and Standard Canadian categories
-BC Youth AND Adult Champion
-World Representative for the Canadian DanceSport Federation
-14th in the World for Ten-Dance (16-18 age category)
-20th for Latin and 25th for Standard
-Volunteer at my dance studio, I help organize small events or dance parties or group lessons
-For work experience, I am also a ballroom dance teacher.</p>

<p>My essays and supplementary essays are decent in my opinion. To be honest, I don't think they were absolutely amazing, but I feel like I did a pretty good job overall.</p>

<p>As for my teacher references I don't know, because I waived my rights to look at them. But I'm pretty confident that they are well-done. If I had to guess the main point that stands out in them is the fact that I miss a lot of school due to travelling for my dance competition, but I always manage to catch up on the missed homework and assignments in a timely and well-executed manner. </p>

<p>I don't know what else to add, any ideas? :)
Thanks a bunch!</p>

<p>NYU Stern: High match
Columbia: Reach</p>

<p>I can swear that even U Toronto Rotman can be a safety at home…</p>

3

<p>I got rejected from Rotman today. :frowning:
Edit: That’s partially why I made an account today, I’m really freaking out.</p>

4

<p>Is Queen’s, UBC Sauder or UWO Ivey more realistic than Rotman in your situation?</p>

<p>Additionally, can you afford NYU Stern? Because NYU Stern has poor FA…</p>

5

<p>I missed the Ivey deadline (I got into Management however), but I can apply in 2nd-year anyways since the Ivey Program doesn’t start until 3rd year. I didn’t apply to UBC Sauder because I really want to get out of Vancouver. I can most likely get into Queen’s for Commerce, just waiting on results now.</p>

<p>And yes, I can afford NYU. :slight_smile:
I know it’s really expensive but my parents have told me that they want me to go to the best school I can get into regardless of price, and they’ll find a way to make ends meet!</p>

6

<p>So UWO is your safety now…</p>

7

<p>I’m just not sure how good of a school it is.
I also got into McGill for Arts and waiting on a result for Commerce, I don’t really know what to make sense of it. Perhaps UWO would be better than McGill simply for the fact that I got into Management?</p>

8

<p>McGill Desautels: Reach (unless you averaged 93%+ in your best 5 classes; it’s harder to get in than even Rotman)</p>

9

<p>Any other opinions? :O</p>

<p>Hi! I am also a chinese male looking to go to NYU Stern, good luck to you! I am not one to know how likely it is for you to get into the school, but we are of similar credentials; my SAT is 280 points higher than yours and my GPA is .2 lower, so I believe that if one of us gets in, the other will too. I hope this is what happens hahah</p>

11

<p>Thanks! Good luck to you too! :slight_smile: Only two weeks left until the results. :confused:
Any other opinions? :D</p>

12

<p>shameless bump</p>

13

<p>I’m pretty sure NYU weighs heavier on your extracurricular activities. Way more than UofT. The admission system is completely different. I wouldn’t worry too much.</p>

<p>Alright, I’ll try to do some research. :slight_smile:
Someone else wanna chance me please? I’d really appreciate it. :)</p>
