Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi, I'm a senior and just applied to NYU, Michigan, and Boston... here are my stats (lived in Canada and US):</p>

<p>GPA in Canada: took mostly "Canadian honors"
Grade 9 CAN: approx. 75ish
Grade 10 CAN: 81.1
Grade 11 CAN: 90</p>

<p>Then I got kicked out of Canada; apparently they had too many immigrants or something. <strong><em>ing *</em></strong>**s. So I repeated a year of high school in the US (Junior year) so that I can have time to take AP classes (No AP in my CAN High school) and adjust to a whole new system.</p>

<p>GPA in US: High school ranking: 101st by USNews
Grade 11 US: 93.4 (with 4 AP (USH, Bio, Lang. Comp., Psych) and 1 Honors (AP Calc)
Grade 12 US (so far): 93.8 (with 4 AP (Calc. BC, Stats, Lit., US Gov.))</p>

<p>AP Scores:
USH: 4
Bio: 5
Lang.: 5
Psych.: 5</p>

<p>SAT Scores:
Math: 780, Writing: 780, CR: 770 (Superscore, 2 sittings)</p>

<p>SAT Subject Tests:
Math 2C: 800
Bio M: 800
USH: 780</p>

<p>Extracurriculars (nothing outstanding):
In Canada:
Swim Team in Grades 10, 11 - no significant achievements other than making WOSSAA
Vice President of Marketing of SnowCap, a Junior Achievement Company
40-Hour Walk-a-thon across Quebec City and Montrealto raise awareness for war and children</p>

<p>In the US:
Co-started an online charity fund for water in Africa
Senior: Founder of a club that deals with providing water in Africa</p>

<p>Essay: talked about having lived in 4 countries and getting kicked out of Canada, and finally ending up in the US (talked about cultural experience, life-altering experience in Canada, and all that ****)</p>

<p>Letters of Rec: 2 from my teachers, one a PhD in Biology</p>

<p>So what do you think? I'm not the strongest student, my GPA is weak and my ECs are also pretty weak. Anyhow, how do you think I stack up against others in NYU, Michigan, and Boston? Thanks for taking the time.</p>

<p>I’m no expert but with those remarkable SAT’s and incredible story I would bet you get into 1 if not all of those schools… Since the application deadlines have past, I can no longer encourage you to shoot higher, which I would have done if this were an older post. Where else did you apply?</p>

<p>I think Canadian grading is, generally speaking, harder than in the US. I believe your total GPA would be like a 3.5-3.7 as far as chancing value is concerned. Your GPA isn’t that weak…</p>

<p>NYU: Match
UMI: Match
BC: Match</p>

<p>I also applied to UPenn and Columbia, but I’m not expecting anything from them. I just want to get into NYU.</p>
