<p>Errrrr Isn't the SAT score (not just) a little bit too low?</p>

3

<p>Nice! A 4.0 correlates with a 1650?</p>

<p>Then I should have like a 5.0 uw!, yet i have a 3.6........................................................................................................................................</p>

4

<p>I think she'd get into NYU.</p>

5

<p>OK before anything, the SAT score doesn't look good. Do something about it!</p>

6

<p>Unless you get at least 2100 in December you should probably look elsewhere. NYU might be a match if you can get a 1900 or so</p>

7

<p>She'll get in to NYU.
Columbia and Stanford require much higher SAT</p>

8

<p>Is this serious? Stanford and Columbia are impossible, NYU might take someone with that SAT into their GSP (remedial) program. Talk about a high school with rampant grade inflation! Is she one of 100 with a 4.0?</p>

9

<p>Hey, I know this is cliche, but some people are just bad test takers and very smart with good GPAs, and sometimes it's vice versa. Of course grading is inflated, but . . . well, yeah.</p>

10

<p>Needs SAT scores +600. Stronger ECs will also be recommended.
I believe that she will have an extremely hard chance getting into any of the above. :(</p>
