<p>Now here's what I think will be my downfall.
GPA: 3.3
Math score on SAT: 590 (making my CR+M score a 1280 which kind of sucks)</p>
<p>What do you think my chances for NYU, Stony Brook, and Macaulay Honors are? And does anyone know schools I should apply to that have good biology/medical programs around the NYC area? Any response would be greatly appreciated! </p>
<p>Also my ACT score is a 26 if that matters. </p>
<p>I am able to pay full tuition and it seems that’s a big deal. Bumpppppp</p>
<p>Have you tried to get your Math score up on the SAT? A 690 on CR can get you into some nice schools.</p>
<p>Have you looked at Manhattan college? Your scores would both be high there, but I’ve heard good things about the quality of the teaching there.</p>
<p>What about Fordham? Your CR is above the 75th percentile, and your Math is right at the 25th percentile. I’m no expert on admissions, but that seems like a possibility.</p>
<p>I got the same math score all 3 times I took the SAT. Every. Single. Time. I think it’s harder to get the same exact grade all 3 times than it is to get a 700. </p>
<p>Another hs senior here…
VERY nice ECs and work experience I think ,thats definitely a plus.</p>
<p>SATS and GPA are a bit low, but if you come from a small school like me with somewhat limited academic opportunities, they may be a bit lenient… Can’t be sure though.</p>
<p>Here’s what I think, for what its worth (my application is somewhat similar to yours, aside from the ECs/work)
Stonybrook- match, go for it, I may see you there :))
Nyu cas- don’t know, havent looked into it at all, I can guess however that you can get in minus merit based aid
Macauly honors- just a tad reach I think. Maybe if you’re recs and essay were off the charts, you’ll get in.</p>
<p>Sorry if I sound a bit harsh, remember that my opinion is probably quite misinformed.</p>
<p>BEST OF LUCK
Chance back if you want

<p>Yeah I come from a really small school. 50 kids in my graduating class and there are not too many advanced offered in my school. I take what I can. </p>
<p>I already applied to NYU CAS (ED)
Im sitting on a 2000 composite score for the SAT I and im doing SAT II BIO soon too.<br>
you have very strong ECs with lots of leadership roles so youre good with those. but i think your test scores (kind of similar to me) COULD BE low. im not sure, i really hope it isnt tho.
Good luck bro, hit me up for any updates </p>
<p>@hunggngguyen thanks for the reply! Good luck to you too. Hopefully we both get in. Also, how big of an advantage/disadvantage might there be from applying ED? I was told you’re picked from the best of the best but the majority of people are picked from ED. </p>
<p>@adamd9697 so i checked up on the chances of ED quite a lot and it seems like NYU strictly states that ED applicants are not favored and that they analyze all students regular and early the same way. I also checked the acceptance rate for ED and its like (plusminus) 1% from the rate of RD man im so nervous xD </p>
<p>oh and i dont think you should early decision II because i think you’ll be against IVY league rejects </p>
