<p>Hi there, I'm a rising senior, interested in going into advertising. I'm going to apply to Steinhardt for Media, Culture, and Communication. My stats are...</p>

<p>SAT: 2060 (CR:710, M:660, W:690)
ACT: 34 (E:34, M:32, R:35, S:35)
GPA: 4.0 weighted (100.32)
Ranked 10 out of 107</p>

<p>AP Classes: Lang&Comp, Lit&Comp, Bio, World History, US History
Haven't passed any of the tests I've taken so far :P</p>

<p>Mostly honors classes, except math</p>

<p>ECs: 3 years of theatre, 3 years of competitive journalism (state medalist last year), 2 years cross-examination debate, National Honor Society, freshman class president, volunteered at church, that's all the good stuff...</p>

<p>Local Pre-Calculus Award and Accounting Award</p>

<p>I expect a killer recommendation, too, from my theatre/journalism teacher</p>

<p>Also, I tested out of first grade? Is that something I should put on an application?</p>

<p>I'll also need lots of financial aid, which I understand is not NYU's strong suit.</p>

<p>So, what are my chances, in your humble opinions? Thanks!</p>

<p>I am certain you will get in. I will be attending NYU this year for MCC and your stats are spot on.</p>

<p>Green, if you don’t mind me asking, what do you plan to do with your MCC major? I like it because the curriculum sounds interesting, but I’m not quite sure what kinds if jobs it has lined up.</p>

4

<p>I’m looking to do PR or marketing in the fashion industry.</p>

5

<p>That’s cool! Also, how’d you do regarding financial aid?</p>

<p>I got a $22,000 Steinhardt Scholarship (so about half tuition) and then some grants and loans.</p>
