Colleges and Universities A-Z New York University

<p>Hey everyone. I was just wondering what my chances are for Stern. </p>

<p>ACT: 27. I don't really know what happened, but this is my score and I doubt i'll have time to retake with my schedule.
Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0):3.8</p>

<p>AP: French, Spanish Language, Spanish Literature, Chemistry, Calculus
IB (place score in parenthesis):Full IB <---death. School that does the IB program won very prestigious award for international focus.</p>

<p>Senior Year Course Load:
@ High School :
AP Spanish
AP Chemistry
AP Calculus
AP/IB Spanish Literature
IB Lit
IB History
IB theory of knowledge
IB Projects
@ College
International Economics
Major Awards (USAMO, Intel etc.): none</p>

<p>Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): </p>

<p>Varsity Tennis (captain), Varsity Soccer ( captain), ASB President, NHS, Drama( costumes), EIHS President ( the IB school, that won goldman sach's award for international focus, inside of my school, i can explain if I need to), on the YAT which is a group of students on the board of education for my state. we are advisors for the superintendent.</p>

<p>Job/Work Experience: None</p>

<p>Volunteer/Community service: Over 150 hours, 100 in spanish by senior year. I started and lead a group that goes around my city and helps hispanics that are having trouble with school because of a language barrier and tutor them one on one. By the end of senior year, i would guess that I would have 200+</p>

<p>Summer Activities: Taking a course at University and doing community service. Also visiting colleges.
Essays: I have a couple ideas. Talking about teachers and how they transformed me. Especially french.
Teacher Recommendation:I have solid ones.
Counselor Rec: she loves me</p>

<p>Male Hispanic on the West coast. Not first generation college student.</p>

<p>So just a quick explanation, the only reason I'm making so many chance threads is because I got a very shocking ACT score on Sunday night, so I want to see if I can still go to/ or have a chance of going to any of the schools I originally wanted to apply to. Some of the schools I wanted to go to ( Harvard, Penn, Columbia) I know are out of the question, but maybe there is still some hope for some of the schools.</p>

<p>Anyways, thanks for your time everyone. :)</p>

<p>I was thinking about it, if you could chance me for both Stern and for BPE, that’d be great! thanks!</p>

3

<p>I would say high reach only because of the ACT.</p>

4

<p>Reach, get the ACT to a 30+! CAS would be a reach too.</p>

5

<p>just apply. the essay is your strength. besides the grades and test scores are the last thing they really read anyway. what is important is your character and the school fits you. Better not be US News telling you how the school fits though.</p>

<p>I’m trying to get my ACT up to that, but It just isn’t really working :/</p>

<p>And yeah. My essay should be good. Thanks for the opinions everyone :)</p>
