<p>I am from New York City, from the borough of Brooklyn. I do not have much EC but here is the list, I suppose. </p>

<p>After school sports program, which meets three times a week.
Math tutor for school service credit. </p>

<p>That's about it but I also create and publish websites in my free time. I have a longstanding blog, which has been sponsored by a web hosting company and I write articles about web hosting, servers, and technology. </p>

<p>Anyways, I want to either major in Finance/Investment or Computer/Software engineering. </p>

<p>The schools, I really want to go to are:</p>

<p>NYU- Don't think I will make it, sadly.
Syracuse University
CUNY Baruch
RIT
NYU Poly
Fordham </p>

<p>Anyways, what do you think my chances are? I'm going to be taking the SAT in a week. I haven't really studied but I plan to go all out on the October one, with some tutoring from SAT prep during the summer. </p>

<p>THANKS!</p>

<p>Hey man, I would say for the most part its going to be a bit tough… The B+ average is fine, but it appears you haven’t taken too many challenging courses up to your senior you. Based on your application as a whole, I would say you need high SAT scores ( though NYU may be difficult to get into despite that).</p>

<p>For Syracuse and Fordham, I would say you will need high SAT scores as well. However, if you can find a way to stand out on your application through co-curricular activities, maybe you will be alright. Same goes for the other schools.</p>

<p>Dont mean to sound like I’m coming off harsh, but I would say you have a bit of work to do over the next few months.</p>
