<p>I have tons of volunteer work (homeless shelter, special Olympics, summer school preschool volunteer and much more)
I am also a swimmer, since I was 7 and planning on swimming in college so this Will hopefully help. </p>
<p>School activities:
NHS
World language NHS
Student council hr rep
Student council executive board
Key club</p>
<p>Should have good teacher recs and hopefully good essay!
This is my list:
NYU (top choice)
Columbia/Barnard (dream school but I know unrealistic)
Fordham
Wagner
Vassar
Loyola md
College of charleston
Ithaca
Providence
Keene state</p>
<p>I suggest you take the SATs one more time if NYU is your top choice.
Columbia is definitely a high reach. NYU is a reach if you don’t bring up your SATs. And I can’t speak for the other colleges because I don’t know about their admissions criteria, but I believe Fordham is a target. Good luck!</p>
<p>Your SAT is LOW for NYU. And with that SAT score, I would put Columbia far out of reach. 1950+ for NYU CAS, 2100+ for Columbia.</p>
<p>Thank you… I’m actually planning on applying directing into the NYU liberal studies program… I think they are easier on SAT scores. Thoughts?</p>
<p>Standardized test scores definitely aren’t everything - have you considered taking the ACT? I almost got the exact same SAT score, and I took the ACT and got a 30 - it converts to about a 2000 SAT score, and puts you in the ballpark of where you want to be. And yes, I was accepted to NYU.</p>
<p>Wow I had that exact SAT score (even the exact breakdown) and I got into CAS soo… <__<</p>
<p>Good that makes me feel better! I’m taking the ACT in September and some subject tests in october so maybe that’ll help. I’m also applying early decision!</p>
<p>I’d raise that SAT if I were you. Have you tried emailing the coaches about swimming? I was recruited to swim last year at NYU. Try filling out a [url=<a href=“http://www.gonyuathletics.com/index.aspx?tab=swimminganddiving2&path=wswim]recruiting[/url”>Women's Swimming & Diving - NYU Athletics]recruiting[/url</a>] questionnaire.</p>
<p>GPA is pretty weak
SAT is really weak </p>
<p>But you seem to be set on your extracurriculars, so that’s good
Honestly, I think you need at LEAST a 2k to stand a chance for NYU (depending on which school btw) and at lest a 2200+ for Columbia</p>
<p>wish you luck, fellow key clubber! cept I’m an alumni starting this year hahaha
bonam fortunam!</p>
<p>How on earth is a 93% average “pretty weak”?</p>
<p>Bring up that SAT and you have a very good chance.</p>
<p>A 93 average can get you into the Ivy League; definitely not “weak”. Her class rank is okay, but certainly good enough for CAS. Get up your SAT and you may even have a slight chance at Columbia. Stranger things have happened, and less qualified applicants have gotten in.</p>
