<p>I'm forgetting some, but that is basically it.</p>

<p>Additional info:
I'm first Generation, my parents are immigrants from Ethiopia and I am currently filming a documentary (which I am entering into the Columbus Film Festival) and writing a book about there story (got a publisher).</p>

<p>I don't know if this is enough info. </p>

<p>That's about all I got. NYU is the goal.</p>

<p>"I don’t know if this is enough info. "</p>

<p>Yeah, it isn’t. We need to know what school within NYU you’re applying to to give you an accurate chance. CAS is a high match/low reach considering that your GPA is pretty low (ACT is good) and Stern is a reach. There are more schools than just CAS and Stern, though.</p>

3

<p>CAS, that’s what I meant. Not Stern, definitely. And I know the SAT is important too.</p>

4

<p>you have a good chance.</p>

5

<p>From what you said is good, but I need more. I’m assuming documentaries count as an extra curricular. Did you do anything else? What’s your major?</p>

6

<p>Also, you’re a junior. Make an effort to bring your cumulative GPA to around a 3.55 - 3.6 and you should be in good conditions. I’m a senior right now with a 3.6 UW gpa and just sent in my NYU app… I had a 3.43 at the start of my junior. Do well this year and you’re in.</p>

<p>Your ECs are pretty extensive but seem to be lacking focus. Try to get a leadership position in a club for next year.</p>

<p>Being a URM will help as well.</p>

<p>My major is undecided. But I don’t wanna’ be “that guy” who goes into such a good school having no idea what she’s doing, I know I want to go into mathematics and Economics though, and I know CAS does that fairly well. </p>

<p>Yeah my EC’s are all over the place. I am trying to narrow down. </p>

<p>Thanks the both of you.</p>
