<p>The colleges I am applying to:</p>

<p>-NYU (Early Decision), College of Arts and Sciences
-SUNY Binghamton (Early Action), Harpur
-Cornell University, CALS
-SUNY Stony Brook (Early Action)
-SUNY Albany (Early Action)
-SUNY Geneseo
-Boston University, College of General Studies
-Syracuse University
-Hofstra University
-George Washington University (possibly Early Decision 2 in January)</p>

<p>These are my stats:
(my high school doesn't do rankings or percentiles in the class)</p>

<p>-Currently a senior taking Senior Seminar (4 class grades), AP Econ, AP Env, AP Calc. So total of 4 APs by the end of the year.
-No Previous APs
-Was in Honors/Honors by Acceleration math since 7th grade.
-87.5 cumulative average/GPA unweighted. My High School doesn't weigh averages.
-Upward growth since freshman year. Went from an 85.5 average Freshman year to a 93 Junior year
-1660 SAT score (I'm only sending to NYU, BU and GWU because they require the subject tests. Not sending SAT scores to the other colleges hat don't require it.)
-28 ACT score (92-93rd national percentile)
-Took SAT Subject Tests for Mathematics 1 and US History this morning. I think I did fairly well on the M1 but poor on the US History.
-I'm in a few clubs. I am the Founder/President of the Standardized Test Prep club and secretary for a Community Service club in my school.
-I've got enough volunteer programs and community service and I am very active with my volunteering.
-No sports
-My resume is just over a page long (if that means anything)
-I have a very original essay. I consider it to be phenomenal. My english teacher, a very harsh grader, however, says it is just average. But he considers the vast majority of the essays he has checked over the past fourty years to be absolutely putrid.
-I am on the mailing list for all the colleges I am applying to.
-I have researched each college individually and have met with several representatives of each college to which I am applying to. I filled out cards with my information on it and some of these representatives say these information cards will be very beneficial for me during the application process.
-Money is not a problem
- I want to study pre-med.</p>

<p>**** and im doin ED 2 to gwu if i dont get into nyu..</p>

4

<p>Just a random question to turksouttacyprus... are you greek by any chance? or cyprian? Just wondering.</p>

<p>And to the OP- I think NYU is a slight reach for you but ED helps. </p>

<p>Cornell (high reach) and GW are both reaches. BU is a match/slight reach. Hofstra you will get into, same with Syracuse. Not sure about the rest.</p>

5

<p>One person told me GWU would be a safety for me...but you call it a reach...go figure.</p>

6

<p>Tufts and Holy Cross have great pre-med programs with Holy Cross being SAT optional.</p>

7

<p>GWU- not a safety. Check the "accepted students" thread from the spring. That SAT will hurt- they are trying to raise their accepted student stats.</p>
