<p>do I have any chance at NYU???</p>

2

<p>oh, and im Doing Early Decision, if that helps</p>

3

<p>bump. anyone????</p>

4

<p>I think you have a pretty good shot. One "C" freshman year won't kill you cuz it was your first and last C :) Your SAT scores are good but if you can get that up that would be even better. Write good essays and you'll be good to go :) Good Luck!</p>

5

<p>i agree with gabs, i dont think that one c will do much. if you can get your sats to at least 2100, i think you're in.</p>

6

<p>agreed, if you can knock up the SAT's a little you stand a good chance.</p>

7

<p>Good shot if you don't need money.</p>

8

<p>thanks everyone for the opinion. any more thoughts are really appreciated</p>

<p>as far as money issue, i don't plan on applying for financial aid.</p>

9

<p>brigs? def not.</p>

<p>kidding.</p>

<p>are you going to wildwood next weekend?</p>

10

<p>umm nope we are not,
I kinda dropped out this season for Brigs, I was marching Boston Crusaders as an alternate, but decided to drop out of that as well</p>

11

<p>Yeah definitely try raising your SAT. Your ECs are pretty good, your awards (i.e. honor roll) are rather filler (so you might not want to list all of these) but you stand a pretty good chance of getting in. On a different note, what are your safeties?</p>

12

<p>my safeties are:
Rutgers (In state)
UIUC
Syracuse
UConn</p>

13

<p>Yeah you should be fine!</p>

14

<p>Looking great: you have a good chance, especially given your background and your decision to apply ED.
Keep in mind that NYU's selectivity was 24 percent this year, so don't be too disappointed if you get bad news.</p>
