Chances?

<p>GPA: 3.63 UW
School Dosen't Rank
SAT: 2000</p>

<p>In 9th grade I was in all regular classes except for math, and I was in integrated science and my GPA sucked. I worked the summers of my Freshman and Sophomore years to catch up and now I'm full IB after a lot of hard work and sweet talking my consuelor. So, I went from regular cclasses with a low GPA to full IB with a high GPA, but my overall is still somewhat low. I also moved from living with a bi-polar guardian who wasn't on their medication and I moved out of state after I was abonded. Will these things make me stick out in my essays and such? Should I mention them?</p>

<p>EC's:
At my old school
BPA: President
Key Club
Multi-Cultural Club</p>

<p>At my new school:
NHS (Vice President)
SNHS
Young Republicans
Young Democrats (Yes, I'm in both, I like both sides of the coin)
Quiz Bowl team</p>

<p>Here's the list</p>

<p>NYU is my first choice and dream school and I applied EA and included all my unique "baggage" in my essays. Please evaluate my chances and be honest! I know I'm sub-par, but I think I may be extremely in my essays by talking about how it affected me academicaly and socialy and what not. What do you guys think? </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Also, I have done a summer internship at a law firm, have over 150 hours community service at a hospital, did the Cornell Summer program and I had to skip two years of Spanish because my old school had 6 periods for the whole year, so class of language a year. Here, it's 4x4 so you have to have 6 years. I skipped Spanish 3 and 4 and went straight to IB Spanish 1 and got an A and a B+ in IB Spnaish 2. So, in short, I skipped two years of Spanish and did very welland included it in my persoanl statement. I wrtoe the above post a long time ago so it's in the future tense. My school dosen't rank and I'm Full IB. Freshman year I was in all regular classes and took courses over the summer to be in IB Thanks for any feedback at all!</p>

<p>what exactly were your SAT scores in each area? they primarily look at SATs and GPAs but im sure a good essay will go far too</p>

<p>2000 was the new SAT.... I forgot I submitted the old one which was 1250:/.
720 V and 530 M</p>

<p>Any more opinions? Does anyone feel their essays did it for them?</p>

<p>with a 1250 and 3.6 Id say your chances are okay at best but they could read your essays and realize that you only recently reached your best because of the family issues. Either way, good luck, ED decisions come out soon...</p>

<p>GSP. if i got into GSP, so will you.</p>

<p>cool that works for me. Thanks for the feed back! Any more would be appreciated!</p>
