<p>the grades with my junior year are my first semester grades, people say that you're junior year is your hardest...I, of course, did not believe them...but I'm improving
those are not all of the classes that i plan to take during my senior year
my school works on an A-day/B-day block schedule so we take all eight classes are year long
I am applying for both the math honor society and the national honor society in the spring</p>
<p>ECs-
varsity tennis (soph, junior, and senior)
technology student association
junior class council
unity club (went on outward bound trip...came back and we started the unity club)
national society of black engineers (co-founder)
hosa-1st place in sports med. competition at regional level...state level is in april
athletic trainer for var. and jv soccer and men's track and var/jv tennis
Mu Alpha Theta- mathematics honor society</p>
<p>Though you have a good chance, your GPA and SAT scores do not meet the average of NYU students. Another thing that is easy to notice is that your grades actually declined. Your class rank looks good. I would recommend raising your SAT score, to be safe.</p>
<p>Which school at NYU do you plan to apply to?</p>
<p>The fact that you're an african american with a 1300 gives you a much better chance than if you were white or asian...so your ethnicity is a plus. </p>
<p>If you are applying for next year and not this year, you should highly consider applying early decision. Remember, college admissions is all about strategy...both for the student and the college (I think sometimes people forget about how strategic colleges are). </p>
<p>I believe URM's probably have a better shot ED when NYU has more seats to fill (translation: they have more seats to fill for diversity's sake as well). So in the ED round I think you have got a really great shot. If you apply RD, and if NYU already has enough apps. from qualified blacks by that time or have already filled those slots ED, your ethnicity won't help you much.</p>
<p>I would caution you to apply to Tisch for filmmaking if you only want to "try your hand at it". Film, acting, and writing are the three most competitive majors at NYU to get into, and NYU (especially for film) is very difficult. The numbers on this board that float around ar 4-6% admit rate.</p>
<p>oh no, i wasn't thinking about applying to tisch i was just hoping to take a course or two in fim making, script writing, or something...i think that i would major in something in the science field...i'm still not entirely sure what i want to be</p>
<p>actually maybe you all can give me some suggestions....i love math and biology...chemistry was alright....i'm not too fond of physics...what are some careers/majors that i should look into </p>
<p>thanks for all of your comments....u know what i've noticed...forums for NYU, wesleyan, and the like all have people that support the other forumers and give hope whereas other forums for schools that have pretentious students have forumers that are only there to tear everyone down and make you feel as though you are not good enough for THEIR school (granted most of the forumers are in highschool too)</p>
