<p>Hi, i am a rising senior who wants to go NYU- Stern
Male, International Student
My GPA: 3.97, 7th out of 130ppl
SAT: 2030 SAT 2: Chem 760
ACT: 30
Extracurriculum:
11 - Treasurer in SC, journalist for my school newspaper, member of fine art, varsity soccer team, Student Ministry, Math team, Drama Club
* Created a study group for AP Chemistry
10 - JV tennis, member of fine art, Math team, Drama Club, Scholastic Bowl
9 - V Football, JV Basketball, Track</p>

<p>*I am planning on making Asian Club this year at my school. </p>

<ul>
<li>i know that my clubs has changed a lot. My school in 9th and in 10,11,12 are different. I tried diverse sports, because I like to play sports and searched for anything i am good at.</li>
</ul>

<p>Volunteer
for 110hrs at a handicapped children Hospital
for 60hrs at volunteering for national conference</p>

<p>I go to small private school that does not provide much AP Courses.
I took AP Calculus AB, US History for my school. (5,3)
Studied by myself for AP Statistics and Micro Econ (4, 5)</p>

<p>I know my SAT is low. But the problem i face is that i don't have much opportunity to retake. First, i need to do SAT2 in october and SAT in November. NYU's early application is on November 1st. </p>

<p>my questions is
1) Does NYU accept additional score after the dead line?
2) is it better to submit Early Decision with SAT 2030 or Regular with SAT - maybe like 2150?
3) Do you think it is hard for me to get it? If you do, can you tell me what i should do?</p>

<p>oh one more, i have studied in America for 4 years. Do NYU expect me to submit TOEFL score?</p>

<p>Since you are an international, it will be a major crapshoot whether you will get accepted. Internationals get minimum aid also. As far as raw stats go, you are below average, maybe 25%tile according to collegeboard for NYU.</p>

3

<p>a breakdown of your SAT scores will help us (cr, math, writing)</p>

4

<p>It is CR:650, Math:800, Wri: 580
I did so bad in writing than i normally get…</p>

5

<p>u know u can just report the best out of each section from all the times you have taken it?</p>

6

<p>

</p>

<p>it’s better to report early decision with a 2150. haha i felt like giving the jerk answer :)</p>

7

<p>That 800 on the math along with ED could definitely get into Stern buttttttt… You won’t get a penny in the form of financial aid… from nyu, that is.</p>

8

<p>It’d be better to get the higher SAT score (raise your Critical reading and Writing) and apply regular decision to have a better shot</p>

9

<p>@Lobzz, </p>

<p>800 in math wouldn’t guaranty into Stern. As a current Stern Student, most of the people here have 2200+ SAT scores.</p>

10

<p>^Yeah, I guess you’re right. I forgot to ask what major he wanted at Stern. Some are much more math-oriented than others. But an 800 would help, nontheless</p>

11

<p>Since NYU accept 1)SAT&SAT 2)ACT 3)SAT&AP,</p>

<p>Should i take SAT1 on October and use my AP grades?? or just take SAT2 for ED?</p>

<p>Isn’t it same whatever my major is in Stern? i mean, if i tell them i want to do Finance,</p>

<p>would it be harder to get admission than accounting.</p>

<p>I am kind of good at Math. I took Calc AB -if my school offered BC i could have done it and studied AP Stats by myself, and going to take College math course.</p>
