Hello! I am currently in my first year at a California Community College in the bay area and I am hoping to transfer to NYU Stern as a junior in the future. I didn’t do well in High School because i was engulfed into my extra curricular that I was participating in at the time. Surprisingly I was admitted to many of the colleges I applied to but I decided not to go. NYU Stern would be my preferred college of choice but I do have guaranteed admission to UC Irvine if I do not get into NYU but I’m just curious to know my chances. SO here are some stats:
HS gpa: 2.9 (I KNOW ITS REALLY BAD I WAS MESSED UP AFTER MY SOPHOMORE YEAR)
College gpa: 3.78
EC: in hs i was in a program that had a about 21 hours of practice every week and i was in one of the higher positions and we competed in world class
I am also very involved with my community and take part in organizing many different event for the community
i also currently have been working a part time job for about 2 years now
I know my chances are nearly impossible to get into Stern but I just want to know if I should still even try to apply. also, go ahead and be brutally honest because they are all probably things I’ve already heard/thought of before.
