<p>bump
hey guys... r u... out there...?
Please chance me, por favor</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I don't think you'll be able to get NYU or Georgetown. American, Howard, BU, UW and GW would also be tough.</p>
<p>I agree. Your stats are just too low. You never know though because those are good ECs. I would apply anyway (obviously)</p>
<p>Well, your ECs are good. Since you can't easily fix your GPA (which is on the low side), I suggest you up your ACT scores and try your hardest on the SAT. If you're going for NYU Stern... I don't know. It'd be a really big reach, unfortunately, but apply anyway. Not sure about the other schools...</p>
<p>good ec's, decent grades. you'llbe fine. i'd say you're in at stern.</p>
<p>I don't know about Stern. Stern is TOUGH and their average SAT is around 2150 with an average GPA above 4. </p>
<p>That SAT of 2150 corresponds to an ACT of 32.25. That's WAY above your stats. I like your ECs, but I don't think they can make up for both a low GPA and a low standardized test score.</p>
<p>i know this may be a little offensive, but i have to ask, doesn't her ethnicity give her a little more leeway? i know her act scores are really low compared to the average. if she got that up to like a 31, would she be in becasue she is african american?</p>
<p>Stern doesn't factor it in as much as say, Wharton would. If she got it up to a 31, it would still be a reach because of her GPA.</p>
<p>Yeah, I dont think being black is going to help you THAT much. Stern is a huge reach even with ED. I think your list is entirely unrealistic.</p>
<p>sorry, kind of off topic, but if your school is very competitive, how can it not offer that many ap's?</p>
<p>real good ec's though...</p>
