<p>Hey! can you guys chance me for NYU Stern. Im a canadian student, and i just applied ED. After i got my ACT back. i just felt that i wouldn't get in, not even a remote chance. Anyways, nothing to lose. Just want to know how NYU will evaluate my application package.
Asian/ Chinese F
My academics are that strong
ACT: 27 (I know its faw below average, but since the score was already sent to NYU. I cant do anything with it)
SAT2: Math Level 2: 800
Mandarin: 800 ( I guess, i dunt know, but it was pretty easy)
We dont have GPA stuff in Canada. my average is low too. like 84, but my school is a well-known public school. Seriously, 80% of kids are asian, too smart!! Can't compete with them. but i guess i m still in top 15%.
Our school is an art school, so we don't have either IB or AP courses. </p>

<p>Do we actually need a lot of activities? cuz i saw other people has like tons of it. Its like full of the whole page. i just put ones that i think might help me. OHHHH. almost forgot,
my common application essay is on table tennis and math
supplements are pretty good, i think, from my own perspective :) </p>
<p>I have some other questions, if my academics, as you guys can see, are not that strong, actually really bad, would NYU just eliminate me? Also do they have like a percentage for international students each year? especially Canadians? Since i already applied to ED, would this be an advantage for me, becuz i know i m the only one in my school applied to ED. would NYU Stern compare me with others like IB students from Canada as well? Sorry i know its really lengthy, but just give me some suggestions. Thank you so much!</p>
