<p>I know a lot of people here want others to weigh in on their chances for NYU, so I'll chance back if you guys could be so kind as to chance me :). Thanks a ton for taking the time to read my post and chancing me!</p>
<p>Just as an FYI I applied ED I </p>
<p>GPA: 3.85 (unweighted)/4.1 (weighted)</p>
<p>SAT II (I choose to use these scores as my primary form of evaluation as per their test flexible policy): 630 (Bio), 670 (Spanish), 770 (USH) (total comes to 2070)</p>
<p>ACT: 29</p>
<p>APs: U.S. History (5) and English Language (5)</p>
<p>Rank: My school doesn't rank, but I've been able to deduce that I'm in at least the top 10% (as I've received outside awards which are given to only those who pass the 10% threshold).</p>
<p>Applied to: Gallatin (I'm debating either doing a pairing of Computer Science and Visual Arts or going into politics)</p>
<p>ECs:
-Editor in Chief for two years of my school newspaper. I've worked in many reforms and revitalized the club (from three members to 15 members, pushed out the first print edition in years, currently rolling out the iPad edition)
-Three year involvement in wrestling
-Co-president of my school's Young Democrats club
-Co-president of my school's GSA. My friend and I have been working to revitalize this club (when we got to the club it was only my friend and I and we have now grown to about 6 members)
-Only male member of my school's gender equality club (SAGE). I've been involved with this for about two years
-Worked for one full year at a local Pizza joint as a bus boy for every night of every weekend
-Currently working at a local gym daycare for most of the weekdays
-I just recently started my own business this summer in electronic services (I built the website myself from scratch, no templates or anything! If anyone wants to check it out, they can at cloudrepair dot co)
-Started my own international project in Jamaica</p>
<p>Summers:
-Started my own business
-Receptionist at my parent's business
-Worked at the previously mentioned local pizza joint</p>
<p>Essays: Definitely strong. Both essays got strong feedback from peer and teacher reviewers</p>
<p>Recs: Two glowing recs. One was from my math teacher with whom I spent every single day with after school for at least two hours just to do ACT practice. She's told me herself that the rec was very strong and that it'll give me a large boost. I also got a strong rec from my English teacher with whom I strongly connected with last year. I also have a rec from my GC that he more or less had me write myself, and I took the opportunity to have him mention some of the struggles that I overcame in high school (mainly coming out in a hostile environment and my perseverance).</p>
<p>I'm applying from a large public high school from northern Connecticut with about 1,700 people in it.</p>
Good luck</p>
Best of luck! </p>
