<p>I plan to apply to NYUSH for their 2015 entry. I am an international student (Asian, to be a bit more specific). In my school we follow the British curriculum so don't really know where I stand in terms of GPA. But my other stats are:
O-level: 6A<em>s, 2As (A</em> is the highest grade possible)
AS-level: 4As (predicted, the actual result comes out in August) (also A is the highest possible grade at the AS-level)</p>
<ul>
<li>Head Girl in O-levels.</li>
<li>I was the only student in my year to achieve an A* in English Language, Economics and Accounting in O level and graduated valedictorian.</li>
<li>A year ahead in school.</li>
<li>Editor of the school's monthly magazine.</li>
<li>Editor of the Yearbook.</li>
<li>Official Reporter of my campus in AS year. My article was published online on the school's official website.</li>
<li>Recited 'Naat' (solo) every year in the Eid Milad-un-Nabi for ten years. The crowd used to be over a thousand.</li>
<li>Member of the student council every year for nine years. (we had council members in every grade)</li>
<li>Library Assistant at my school for one academic year.</li>
<li>Elected as President Literary Society for A2.</li>
<li>Won a full merit scholarship to complete my A-level studies based on my O-level records.</li>
<li>Completed my O-level on a full merit scholarship also, based on my middle school performance.</li>
<li>Helped organise PTMs, class parties, debate competitions etc.</li>

<li>Vice Captain of the Accounting Team.</li>
<li>Qualified as the top fourth team in the CIMA Accounting Quiz 2014.</li>
<li>Hosted the Farewell Party 2014. (managed the event quite well given that the task was given to me last moment, the original host had taken ill)</li>
<li>Participated in the city's biggest Model UN. Regular member of the Debates Society.</li>
<li>Business Studies teacher calls me 'the best student he has come across in his entire teaching career'.</li>
<li>Accounting teacher nominated me for a world wide distinction (top in the world). However the distinctions are yet to be announced.</li>
</ul>
<p>These are the ones that come to mind. Considering I am an Asian student, will NYUSH take me? I won't add a lot to their 'student diversity'. I am also worried that my choice of subjects was too narrow. (Business Studies, Economics, Accounting, English Language). Will this affect my chances a lot? I really want to get in.</p>
<p>P.S. I won't be able to attend if they don't meet my full demonstrated financial need. Do you people think they will meet it fully?
Thanks for reading through this and taking the time to reply. :)</p>
