<p>*This summer i will be going to Rome to take college level business marketing and managment classes. And complete more service hours. Any and all ideas that will help me.</p>
<p>I am almost the same as you. (GPA ethnicity clubs etc.) Id just say raise the SAT score. I got into Caroll and Stern with a 1450, and since theyre both pretty numbers based, Id suggest raising your score at least 100 points. Everything else looks good tho.</p>
<p>if you're low income, you advice that you apply through HEOP to NYU.
it will pay you some money, and the program lowers the NYU admin. standards. look into it if you're low income</p>
<p>the money really dosnt matter, i should have never mentioned it, im gunna take out a loan, just wanna now if i gotta shot at being accepted. thanks for looking out breathfire i will look into HEOP</p>

<p>i know national honor roll is a scam, and i'm pretty positive that nylc and hs scholars is too.</p>
<p>i hate those scams! they ask you to buy a BOOK? that is sooooooooooooooooo weird! why the heck do they DO that? what is the meaning of this? arent colleges at all affected by that?</p>
<p>are colleges gonna be like... "oh hey look this guy is on the national honor roll"</p>
<p>or are they gonna be like... "haha... look at this idiot for listing this as an achievement. not even a real award. guess this guy doesnt have anything going for him. nex app."</p>
<p>those honor societies aren't a "scam" if you don't buy the book...i got my biography [without picture] published in who's who & national honor roll two years in a row without paying anything, all i did was send back in the card with my info...it even says to be published it doesn't cost anything...unless you consider the cost of a few postage stamps a "scam"...and now that i've been in them for 2 years, they are automatically entering me into scholarships contests that i otherwise would not have been eligible for, which i also definitely need</p>
