<p>Hey everyone. Let me just say that I am obsessed with NYU and it was between applying early to cornell or NYU and I chose NYU because I just can't see myself anywhere else. That being said, I will be heartbroken on December 15th if I don't get in, and you'll probably read about a kid from Albany who throw himself off of a bridge. Just kidding . If you could be so lovely to give me your feedback.</p>

<p>-Early Decision(Hopefully this will HELP SO MUCH due to economy).
-Music Business at Steinhartd.
-White male. I'm very tan though so i was considering saying I was half black...just kiddng
-I need to send a tape in with 2 songs and a few other things. I'd say I'm a good singer(in a non cocky way). If I wanted to be a music major I'd have a really fair chances at getting into Tisch for music or even eastman or other great music schools.
-3.65 GPA. A tad low for NYU but I have taken all Honors and AP 10th, 11th and 12th grade, and that gpa isn't weighted since my school does not have weighted grades >
-My act's blow. I got a 26 last may, I just took them and I find out what I get tomorrow so I'm PRAYING I got atleast a 28. That would be amazing.
-I'm the class of 2010 Vice president for four years.
-Sports galore. I kinda didn't stick with football but I played for 2 years, and then picked up tennis my sophmore year and was captain my junior year.
-School Musical for 4 years. Leads junior and senior.
-3 School select choirs
-Select band(I play the bassoon...I wish I was actually good).....
-Over 100 Hours of community service each school years since 7th grade. I won the Presidential service award(national award for 100+ hours) 5 times.
-I went to music camp this summer at SUNY fredonia for a month
-Europe for a Music Trip summer of 08
-A bunch of other clubs and awards(national honors society, french awards, principle committee, youth court, key club and im probably forgetting a bunch of things).
-Worked various summer and seasonal jobs, and now I have a real job this fall.</p>

<p>So thats about it. Hopefully my ACT scores will increase but hopefully my audition will seal the deal? But give me your opinion.</p>

<p>I think you’ll have a decent chance with a better ACT score, assuming that you get the 28 you’re hoping for.</p>

3

<p>You have a good chance, a 28 would put you NYU at a high match so you’re very close! The rest of it is luck! Good luck!</p>

4

<p>thank you! Do you guys know if NYU superscores their acts?</p>

5

<p>No they don’t, it is highest single sitting.</p>

6

<p>are you sure? I’ve heard multiple things</p>

7

<p>Same here. I might call and ask them.</p>

8

<p>i talked to an nyu rep and they said they superscore</p>

9

<p>Really? I called the admissions office and they said they look at the highest sitting.
Did you talk to an admissions officer or a student ambassador? The ambassador that answered the phone when I called wasn’t sure so she forwarded me to an admissions officer.</p>

<p>well i talked to a guy that came at my school thats does admissions for CAS. They also mailed me a booklet from steinhardt that says they superscore the ACTs. So maybeee it depends on the school?</p>
