Hi there! I’m new here and I was hoping you’d tell me if you think I have a shot at NYU
I’m mexican
GPA: 4.0 (UW)
CENEVAL EXANI II: 1270/1300 (National examination approved by NYU)
I went to a very prestigious and competitive high school (Tecnológico de Monterrey / ITESM) and graduated with an Honorary Mention.
Rank: 4/115
I didn’t take any APs (I don’t think we have those here) and we can’t really choose our classes but I took 2 foreign languages at the same time on my senior year (German and Chinese), and I think I was the first student to have a course overload like ever.
TOEFL PBT: 653/677
TOEFL IBT: 112/120
I’m taking a GAP YEAR!

I’m getting recommendation letters from my Physics and Math teachers (and 1 extra from my current boss).
I’m also applying to Ivy League schools such as UPENN, Yale, Brown, Dartmouth and others like Stanford but I don’t know if I have a shot there… My SATs were really low (670M, 610W, 570CR) but I’m taking them again…
Thank you very much!!! And excuse my English !
