<p>***On my previous post, I stated my ACT score as a 32, but my school report had a bit of a delay in coming in, and I finally got a 36!:)</p>

<p>Also, what kind of extra-curriculars is NYU Stern looking for?</p>

<p>Also, please note that I got two c+'s Junior year, and a few B's. That is why I am taking summer college level courses, to prove to colleges that I can and will work to succeed.</p>

<p>There’s a seperate place for chance me threads</p>

<p>i think you have at least a 35% chance at the most selective schools on your list (if your gpa was 3.8 UW with no C’s then i would say 65%+. if you multiply the probabilities … you still have an excellent chance of getting into a very selective school.</p>

<p>those C’s/B’s will reduce your chances a lot for the most selective schools. not as much as they might some other person though. your test scores are really amazing.</p>

<p>Thank you! Yes, I know, the abundance of B’s and 2 c’s will really bring me down. Freshman year was my high point, and I truly did screw up junior year. But I am working hard on summer homework, and i may be able to put in a few more summer classes, and 3 more classes in the fall of next year, bringing the total college classes I will have taken to 7 (minimum)-10 maximum.</p>

<p>Would you be able to specify which colleges I have a 35% chance of getting into, and how I could improve these chances? I completely agree, had I had a 4.0 UW my chances would have been so much better:) Thank you for taking the time to respond!</p>

<p>****** EVERYONE PLEASE NOTE
I will not be submitting all my test scores. I am only submitting the following to my colleges:
SAT
SAT Math
SAT Physics
SAT Chemistry</p>

<p>Please only focus on these test scores, as these are the ones I will be submitting:)
Submitting Literature, math, and physics, would be completely unrelated:P</p>
