<p>Hey everybody! I'm going to be a senior next year at a compettitive public high school in New York. Here's a quick rundown of my stats and ECs</p>
<p>GPA: 94 UW 96 Weighted, mostly honors and APs</p>
<p>SAT: 800 CR 740 M 680 W (1540/2220)</p>
<p>SAT II: 800 USH 680 MATH 1 670 BioE planning on taking literature, hoping for 700+ (anyone know if NYU looks at two highest only?)</p>
<p>APs: English Lang 5 Psychology 5 US History 5</p>
<p>ECs and Awards: VP Econ Club, Founded charitable organization, VP NHS,<br>
800+ hours of community service, few other clubs, award for excellence in US History in the Junior Year (highest GPA in US history in grade), not much in terms of business related. Anyway chances for ED/RD. Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>no doubt your overall compositive score is great
however if you're applying to Stern, I would suggest your Math SAT II score to at least be in the 700+ range</p>
<p>you seem to be a very literature/english-oriented person</p>
<p>I also got a few varsity letters in XC and bowling; The math department at my school sucks so I fear taking Math IIC and 1C's curve just annoys me...i guess i could retake...yeah i like history and lit,but also math...only prob with history/lit is, there are no jobs to be found for those majors haha.</p>
<p>first about stern: i would assume they want to see you take the most rigorous of anything esp. in the math area. so i would really suggest you take the math IIC over the IC. for elite colleges, very few people just take the IC.</p>
<p>also regarding jobs: i also recommend that you go into whatever it is that you're interested in and not go in for the pot of gold. actually i want to share the mentality that a liberal arts undergraduate education is really to enlighten you and educate you, its really not indended to score you a high paying job-- if you're looking for something with jobs then thats what trade/vocational schools are for. undergrad, you just gotta be well-rounded, learn to read, write and analyze well (with english and history, what you like will probably train you to do) and study what you like. Then the whole job part is where grad school comes in-- now that you're exposed to all the different topics and figure out what you want and studied what you like, you can go to law school, business school, medicine, graduate school-- and with the degree, it'll land you a job.</p>
