<p>Hello guys</p>

<p>I'm applying to NYU-Poly as a long shot ever since the merge but Poly is where I want to go (my dream high match school....) Please be honest and I'll chance back too! Thanks so much</p>

<p>Stats:
Female, Asian
Intended Major: Computer Science
GPA: 3.7
Rank: top 20% :(
RANK: 174/885 students (mind blown)</p>

<p>Classes taken: APUSH (3), 8 Honors, taking challenging classes even at my senior yr (currently taking AP Literature and AP Chem), Honors Physics, Honors Global, Honors English both years, Honors Spanish, in Robotics, in an integrated business class, taking calc</p>

<p>Honors Society
SAT: 1580 (510 CR 550M 520W) (below standards, I know, I'm disappointed in myself too)
ACT: -
SAT II: -</p>

<p>I just took Nov SATs today and I hoping for 1700-1800 I'm just horrible at working under pressure</p>

<p>Personal Statement: About me learning how to Ollie on my skateboard and learning from all my failures that kept me going (something of that nature) (I think my essay is ok, I hope it's unique)</p>

<p>Rec's: Got one from my chem teacher who saw me struggling at first term but made it to take ap chem (shows initiative I guess?) I help her out a lot (Rec might be decent)</p>

<p>Counselor (I talk to him a lot, hopefully it's good)
EC's:
- very community service oriented
-tutor for AP chem
-assistance to head chef/baker at bakery for 2-3 years
-100+ hrs tutor at afterschool program
-local church service
-member at filipino club, remedy, christian club, christian solution, red cross club</p>

<p>Throughout my high school career, I felt like I did a lot but when I look back at this list, I feel like just a number and a statistic.. Will NYU ever accept me? I have challenged myself but will NYU see this? :(</p>

<p>Also can anyone tell me how to up my game? I really want to get in...</p>

<p>Assuming you get above 1800 in Nov SAT(u should score well in maths) , i think you may have a SMALL chance coz ur resume shows some pretty good characteristics. I would recommend boosting your SAT score coz that does matter. I would also recommend a pretty solid unique essay with a good letter of recommendation.</p>

<p>Don’t think a lot about this crap coz u will get in where you u deserve to get in.
Just focus on your senior year studies and enjoy life. </p>

<p>i think the gpa and SAT are not high enough…that SAT really needs to boost up to at least a 1900 for a CS major. However, you are doing NYU poly and I know that poly is easier to get in. a lot of ppl dont want to go there bc it’s in brookyln and not greenwich village. i’m not an admission officer tho…good luck!! the EC’s are nice so it might help</p>
