<p>You'll probably get into UF... That is the only school I am familiar with but your Math score is horrible compared to the average at these schools. If you want to get into business you should improve that... great resume nonetheless.</p>

3

<p>True, it is a terrible math score compared to the average at those schools. But some of these schools don't place so much importance on SATs after two years in college.</p>

<p>^-- Yup, that's true, they don't place as much importance on the SATs / HS stuff if you transfer into your junior year. I should know b/c I transferred into Gtown from a cc with an SAT score lower than yours (but higher college GPA) haha. </p>

<p>Ace those essays and recs and you should be pretty competitive (for gtown at least, not sure about the others)</p>

<p>Oh yeah, i also got the who's who thing...but i think its worth crap </p>

<p>PM me if you have ?s</p>

<p>Hello everyone. I hope you can chance me since my case is peculiar. I am a US citizen and I have always lived in Mexico. I went to a mexican High School which is 3 years long. After I completed my second year in High school I went to England as an exchange student for one year and when I came back I wanted to attend college in the USA and since I hadn't my High School Certificate, I got a GED in English. Because I was living in the border with Texas, I applied to the University of Texas Pan American (utpa) but still was going to High School in Mexico so I could finish it. After one year in college and High School I got my certificate from HS but my parents separeted indefinetely and my mother left to Mexico. I decided to go with her and because that was in late July I barely applied to one of the top mexican universities (Institute of Technology and High Studies of Monterrey, economics major) and I could not transfer any credits from UTPA, so I started as a freshman again. okok thats enough, Now I am about to start my fourth semester in Monterrey and I want to transfer to NYU and do an economics major.</p>

<p>This are my statistics:</p>

<p>High School GPA: 95/100
UTPA GPA: 3.47 (2 semesters, 10 courses, )
ITESM GPA: 90/100 (3 semesters, 19 courses, already took very strong maths ( actually, 2 calculus and linear algebra, this semester im taking math 4), 2 statistics, principles micro macro, intermediate micro macro)</p>

<p>ECs: Very few in college: Association of Creative Cinematographs Treasurer, Economics Student Society Member, National Hispanic Proffesional Organization Member. High School in Mexico: President of all Freshmen, President of all Sophomores, President of all Juniors, President of all Seniors</p>

<p>Volunteer on the Mexican Ministry of Economy in the Public Administration and organization of national events (more than 1200 hours during 2008). Community service in South Mexico tutoring pook kids maths and reading classes, college tutor in Calculus and Micro/Macro Economics.</p>

<p>Worked in a minimum wage job (Clothe Store)
I dont have any AP and IBP because they were not offered in my High School.</p>

<p>Recently I have been invited to a program called Excellency Exchange Program where the best economics major students are invited to attend Yale University, Berkeley or Georgetown for next summer 2009. The selection process is very competitive and faculty professors choose the students, I am so excited!</p>

<p>Thanks very much, hope someone can help me.</p>
