Do I even have a shot?

<p>I know my stats aren't the strongest:</p>

<p>3.7 Unweighted, 4.3 Weighted GPA
ACT: 29
SAT: 630 Reading, 650 Math, 590 Writing (Ouch!) </p>

<p>My EC's are very strong, I'm captain/president of a few organizations as well as many honor societies. I've won many awards in debate and in foreign language competitions statewide. </p>

<p>My essay is extremely innovative, and is currently being refined in the fires of my English departments hand for it's final crafting. </p>

<p>By the end of my high school career, I would have take 11 AP classes. I have never taken a regular class before. </p>

<p>My standardized test scores and unweighted GPA are pretty terrible, I'm applying to CAS in international relations. Do I have a chance? Thank you for all honesty! </p>

<p>(Do you think I should sign up for the ACT to take it again? I despise the SAT)</p>

<p>yes, as a matter of fact, if yoou apply early i guarantee you’ll get in.</p>

<p>I do plan to do ED. :slight_smile: Thank you so much! And please excuse me if I ever seem like I am gloating on this board, I want everyone to have good vibes and positive thoughts!</p>

<p>No problem, everyone just wants a little reassurance. There are some robot-like students on this board who scare everybody.</p>

5

<p>UW GPA is solid, SAT is very low, even for ED. </p>

<p>I’d say mid-reach ED and even if you manage to get in, don’t expect to get any FA.</p>

<p>Your ACT is good. I think you have a great shot! And if you want, don’t send in the SAT score if you feel is too bad :)</p>

<p>NYU allows you to send in 3 SAT IIs (one math/science, one humanities, one of your choice) or 3 AP test scores (again, one math/science, one humanities, one of your choice) instead of the SAT I or ACT. Considering your 11 APs, these options might make more sense for you!</p>
