<p>Just seeing of what my chances are of getting into Columbia, NYU, and Santa Clara U.</p>
<p>NYU is my current top choice. Columbia used to be but with my mediocre scores and grades, i don't think i'll get in. Santa Clara was a school i decided to apply for kicks. i get worried that i won't get accepted into nyu or columbia because of two of my friends, who are number 2 and number 3 in rankings at my school are also applying to those two schools in ny. </p>
<ul>
<li>parochial high school</li>
<li>asian male</li>
<li>cummulative GPA: 3.7 (from a 3.5 freshmen year to a 3.7 junior year, not sure what it is at the moment) </li>
<li>ACT: 25 (1180 SAT equivalent) </li>
<li>SAT I: 1010</li>
<li>SAT II writing: 530</li>
<li>SAT II math ic: 600</li>
<li>SAT II biology: 470
(to explain my scores above, i've always been a horrible test taker when it comes to multiple choice questions, it's test anxiety, my palms start to sweat, and in short, i overthink everything) </li>
<li>extracurriculars: started mostly in junior year, amnesty international, french club treasurer, etc. </li>
<li>no sports at all. </li>
<li>no job experience. </li>
<li>volunteering from time to time. </li>
<li>taken the hardest and toughest classes at my school. stongest classes have always been french and math, currently in AP Calculus BC and AP French with As, never gotten anything lower than an A- in math or french and the only C i've gotten is in AP US History. my current schedule is AP English Lit, AP French, AP Calculus BC, AP Physics, AP Government, and Christian Service</li>
<li>not sure about how well my recommendations will come out, i've always been an introvert at school until this year</li>
<li>great essay, so i've been told by teachers and counselor</li>
</ul>
<p>All applications have been sent, just wondering about my chances.. thanks to anyone, if anyone replies, hopefully... :)</p>
