<p>Will probably have really good Recs (one of the recommendations is from an alumni of NYU Stern)</p>
<p>SAT scores gunna hurt u a bit, and they dont seem to care much if ur from magnet schools (kjayson and soprano where from top school sin the country in bergen county, and got rejeetced with 1300ish SAT score) , On the othe rhand you are a female and Stern doesnt have too many female applicants, but I dont know how much that will help. Your EC's seem good, try to make one of them seem like ahook. I say you have about a 50/50 chance.</p>
<p>I agree with matt. It just looks like a long list. It's all good and I do think you'll get accepted but you need to take all your accomplishments and make something stand out.
Anyway... there is no such thing as AP Calc+, College Board only offers AP Calculus AB and AP Calculus BC (I'm guessing you'll be taking the BC test).</p>
<p>I think you have a decent chance, though you're not a shoe in. Being from a competitive school will help....NYU will note if you're from a competitive public school, good boarding school, etc...and your grades will be considered accordingly so your A- or B+ will be worth more than the same from some bad high school. I'm not sure if having your bro as an alum helps all that much since it doesn't make you a legacy per se (for that you'd need one of your parents as alums). </p>
<p>Im from St. Peter's Preparatory school in Jersey City,NJ , i got deferred from University of Chicago, think i got chance for NYU RD?</p>
<p>SAT:1320
GPA:3.8 UW, 4.0
AP Calc, AP Stat, micro/macro
White Male
Good recs
Father and Great Grandfather are alums.
Hook: Internship at JPMorgan Chase for over a half yr, and they are transferring me to Park Avenue(in NYC) to work soon because i did so well.</p>
<p>Yes and no AFA, both NYU and U of C are amazing schools, who'll pretty much seek out the same general type...smart, talented, well rounded, etc. However, I know some U of C people, and they tend to be more bookwormish than NYU students. Both schools have really brilliant people, but the U of C guy will spend more Friday nights studying while the NYU guy will play Metallica in the dorm rooms and swig Jaegermiester right out of the bottle on the same Friday and Thursday (since nobody at NYU has class on Friday)!...you make the call of where you want to be. </p>
