<p>What do you all think? I know my test scores are a little low for NYU but I am hoping that my extracurriculars will help. I have taken a good amount of AP's and Honors, but have taken a few regular classes also because I changed schools as a sophomore and it kind of messed up my schedule. </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>i heard that NYU is very number focused when it comes to admission..</p>

<p>so i'd say you have fairly low chance of being admitted</p>

3

<p>Your extracurriculars are really good. I don't know. Even with those test scores, you may have a shot. Hope for the best.</p>

<p>We pretty much have similar stats, give or take. I applied to CAS as well. Honestly, we both have an uphill battle. What did you put down for intended major?</p>

5

<p>i put international relations which i think was a good idea considering all of the cultural things that i have done</p>

6

<p>LSP decisions have started coming out man!</p>

<p>Hey. My sister is at NYU. She says you might get into the Liberal Studies Program because your test scores are low. LSP chooses people with very strong personal qualities and extracurriculars, but whose numbers may be on the low side. Anyway, best of luck!</p>
