Chance Me (Fordham LC & NYU)!!

Fordham LC and NYU are my top choices! I applied ED to NYU Stern Marketing (it’s a reach but I decided to go big or go home). I applied EA to Fordham LC majoring in Digital Technologies and Emerging Media.

These are my stats:

GPA: 92.974/100 (W)
APs: 4 (I’m taking 3 this year --> Lit, Gov, and Stats)
SAT: 1360
My high school is an all-girls, private school in NJ

Phys Ed I

Sophomore Year:

EC’s:
NHS, Peer Leadership, Bowling Captain, Track and Field, Sign Language Club, Social Justice Club, and many service clubs offered at my school. I volunteered at Soup Kitchens, elementary schools, zoos, and my public library. I am a competitive piano player and have participated in 10 Music Educator’s Association Annual Auditions and 3 competitions.

My essay is about Mac and cheese (I hope it’s unique enough!) and about my determination to find the best in life.

I know my GPA is pretty low for those schools but I have been trying to push it up as much as possible during Senior Year so I posted my (UW) first marking period grades from senior year.

Please let me know what you guys think, I would appreciate it so so much!!

Hey I think your stats are great! You have a high chance of being accepted into Fordham. NYU is not a stretch and it doesn’t hurt to apply, you could be surprised :slight_smile: I just received my acceptance letter to Fordham- Rose Hill as a Business major (transfer from another private university)

Fordham I don’t say is a match and nyu a low reach. Chance me back

Go big or go home, I love it! I was wondering if you got in!

Did you get in? I’m trying to get into NYU CAS/LSP ED2 with a 3.4 unweighted and 4 weighted so I’m rooting for you!

@collegeboundrxn1 @vwnyu22 haha no I didn’t get in :frowning: but I got into Fordham which was my number 2!!

Congrats! Stern is just so competitive. I’m applying to Fordham too though and it’s an amazing school. Chance me back maybe? http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/2044226-chances-at-nyu-cas-lsp-ed2-bu-gwu-umiami-and-brandeis-low-gpa.html#latest
