<p>I'm interested in NYU, Columbia, UF, Michigan Sate, Ohio University, & Northwestern.</p>

<p>I'm trying out for the NYU cheer squad, & I'm almost positive I will make the cut. I have amazing tumbling, & my current squad has placed 1st at Nationals multiple times. I wasn't sure if this would help my acceptance to NYU.</p>

<p>NYU - Reach
Columbia - Big, big reach
UF - Match
Michigan State - Match
Ohio University - Low Match/Safety
Northwestern - Big Reach</p>

<p>What could I improve on to make NYU a match?</p>

<p>Also, I'm only interested in the journalism program at NYU.</p>

<p>Can anyone answer this</p>

<p>Improve your ACT by several points or try the SATs.</p>

<p>i dont think they recruit for cheerleading... they might, im not sure, but i dont think that most schools do... itll help you somewhat but not immensely</p>

<p>i think you're not too far off from NYU(slight reach id say)... retake standardized tests if you can... if not, just hope for the best</p>

<p>I'd say NYU is a match/a slight reach.</p>

<p>Columbia: reach
UF/MSU/OSU: match
Northwestern: reach</p>

<p>actually i would say you're a pretty good match for NYU, i don't see why ppl are saying that it's a reach for you.</p>

<p>its not a reach, more a slight reach/match. Northwestern is out of the picture though, their journalism program is top ranked and your stats arent good enough. Columba, no. Everyhting else yes except NYU slight reach to match</p>

<p>Ok, I'm getting my SAT scores back sometime this week. I took them last fall & never got the scores returned from my school.</p>
