SAT II: 710 Math 1c 730 Writing 630 US History</p>
<p>Took mostly a rigurous courseload, by the end of this year i'll have 5 APs. Takign 3 this year (im a senior) got a 4 in Euro soph year and 3 on Bio junior year.</p>
<p>Extracurriculars: played Jv basketball 9th and 10th grade, tore my ACL summer after 10th so had to sit out 11th. Part of school science club (3rd in science olympiad), coach basketball to 3rd graders on weekends, volunteered at a foodbank, play the piano, rockclimb religiously, have over a year's work experience at a movie theatre. Not many awards/leadership positions though, got a 1000 dollar scholarship for my scores on the STAR test in cali, won a few hundred dollars form a poetry contest.</p>
<p>Ive gotten into UC santa cruz, riverside, irvine, santa barbara and san diego state. Got put on the wait list for Washington U in St Louis and got rejected by UCLA, UCSD and davis.</p>
<p>whatre my chances at NYU, Boston U and USC, the last 3 schools im waiting to hear from. If i dotn get into NYU i'll most likely go to santa barbara</p>
<p>well if u cant spell rigorous correctly, i dont think anyone would accept you... lol jk.. well if UCLA and UCB rejected you... odds are ,NYU is certain to reject you..
the SAT scores are great and would be good for NYU..if you are taking a rigorous schedule and your weighted is that low, i wouldnt want to see the UW..
you seem to be a smart kid though, passing all of your AP's..your EC's are kinda on the low side though.. </p>
<p>ey mystic..dont be so harsh. its reach..but ur sat are obviously high. ur courseload is great and ur ec's are great yoo. USC shood be in. BU too. Im assuming ur essay was good. i say just reach. 40 percent chance.</p>
<p>***? well i dont wanna be too harsh but at the same time not deceive the kid.. i dont want to raise his hopes.. after all, NYU is a spectacular school.. you're smart, but not NYU caliber..</p>
<p>ah no hard feelings. after reading some topics in the NYU section it definitely seems like more of a reach now. Never knew NYu was THAT hot of a school. always knew it was popular but damn...</p>
<p>yea im not even in the same league as some of those NYU applicants so oh well looks like i'll be going to UCSB.</p>
<p>anyone else's opinions would be appreciated. no need to sugarcoat things my feelings wont get hurt =)</p>
