Chances at Sophie Davis

<p>I was mainly wondering if colleges, Sophie Davis more specifically, look at what high school you attended. I am planning to ED it with an 87.2 average at the end of junior year at Stuyvesant High School, which is known for its academic rigor in nyc. I have a 2220 on the SAT, 790 in writing, 660 in reading, and 770 in math. Im am planning to retake and bring it up to a 2300. I am also planning to take the ACT in September an plan on getting a 31/32. I've also volunteered at a local doctor's office and a hospital. It says on Sophie Davis's website they also look at regents. All of my regents are 95+ except physics, 91, chemistry, 85, and earth science, 88. </p>

<p>I was actually recently accepted into sophie davis this year but turned down the spot. They don’t have ED and a 87.2 might just be too low. Check your schools naviance to see what the avg gpa is for kids accepted into the program</p>

<p>Thanks! Im hoping to bring it up a little first term, like closer to a 90. I’m really hoping to ride on my SAT score and regents score, things the website says they look at. Also, what are my chances for NYU with this record?</p>

<p>Your chances at NYU are much better considering the high test scores. Sophie Davis also loves minorities. In particular, what ethnicity/race are you?</p>

<p>I am Pakistani. My mom did college here, but my dad did not. They are both immigrants and I’m first generation to be born here.</p>

<p>Do you think being a minority would have a noticeable difference in my chances for acceptance?</p>

<p>Yes however being Pakistani might be somewhat more represented in that program from what I could tell when I interviewed. I would look towards your school’s previous acceptances into the program specifically through naviance or by asking around. A stuy GPA is usually worth about 3-4 points more as per their HS profile. Im not sure therefore if it is too low and thats why I would advise trying to find out the stats of previously accepted students.</p>

<p>Oh ok I’ll be sure to do that. Thanks A lot!</p>
