<p>You def have a shot! Your SAT’s are not bad at all. Plus you have lots of EC’s to back it up. Good luck!</p>

<p>It bothers me that you cried for two hours :frowning:
I hope you get in!</p>

<p>I cried for a few weeks after I got my scores. Literally in tears. Screaming. On the floor. In my bedroom. A part of me died.
… and here I am. </p>

<p>NYU is very creative in their pickings. There is no formula. It’s about what makes YOU special. Your extracurriculars, your life experiences, etc.
There is never a “no way” for anybody. Nobody knows for sure. I was told that I didn’t have a chance in these messageboards. And well look-- I’m sitting right now in my NYU dorm room, here on full scholarship, about to write a paper for my History of War (sf) class. So (-:</p>

I feel they’re the best they could be and some what unique… if you can take a look at them… let me know and ill send them. will greatly appreciate it</p>

<p>Everything looks very good. I don’t think they’ll kill you for SAT 2’s. It’s just ONE weak spot in your app so it can easily be considered a fluke. You’re a match. Best of luck!</p>
