Early Decision to NYU. Chances of me getting into GSP?

<p>I used the common application. These are my stats, tell me what you think.</p>

<p>GPA - 87.5/100 unweighted. My school doesn't weigh averages.
ACT - 28 (34 on the math and 10 on the essay)</p>

<p>I am not going to list my SAT score because the majority of you have only taken my SAT score into consideration, completely forgetting my ACT score, which is significantly higher.</p>

<p>I took two SAT 2's in Math 1 and U.S. History.</p>

<p>I live in Long Island, New York.</p>

<p>I went from an 85.5 average freshman year to a 93 average Junior year, with straight A's including a 96 in U.S. History and a 97 in Precalc (honors by acceleration)
I never got below a B in any class, and the lowest grade I've ever gotten in High School was an 80 in Cooking, which is what mainly brought my whole gpa down.</p>

<p>I did not apply for need-based financial aid.</p>

<p>Courses I'm taking this year and what my teachers tell me my grade is for 1st quarter (even though most of my schools don't factor in 1st quarter grades
AP Economics - B
Phys. Education - A
AP Environmental - A
AP Calculus AB - C
Senior Seminar English - A
Senior Seminar Social Studies - A
Senior Seminar Business - A
Senior Seminar Art - A</p>

<p>I had no previous AP courses before this year. </p>

<p>I'm Founder/President of the standardized test club. </p>

<p>Group Leader of The Friendship Circle</p>

<p>EMT volunteer at the local fire Department</p>

<p>Secretary of the Reaching Out (community service) club</p>

<p>A bunch of other ECs</p>

<p>No sports</p>

<p>Outstanding reviews from every teacher/college alumni/relative I showed my personal essay to.</p>

<p>2 teacher recommendations, 1 recommendation from my boss at the library (she let me read it and it is outstanding), and 1 guidance counselor recommendation (I am confident that they are all positive recommendations).</p>

<p>70 on my Hebrew Regents
94 on my English Regents
98 on my Global History Regents
94 on my Earth Science Regents
87 on my Chemistry Regents
96 on my U.S. History Regents</p>

<p>The Schools I am applying to:
NYU College of arts and science (Early Decision)
SUNY Binghamton Harpur (Early Action)
SUNY Stony Brook (Early Action)
SUNY Albany (Early Action)
Hofstra (Early Action)
SUNY Geneseo
Syracuse
Cornell University CALS
Boston University College of General Studies
George Washington University Columbian college of arts and science
Saint Johns in Queens</p>

<p>your regents scores remind me of mine :) I'm applying to CALS ED for meteorology. You have a shot at NYU, but a 28 is only avg., not your stong point.</p>

<p>I'm applying to CALS too
bump</p>

<p>Do they accept early decision applicants to GSP, or defer you first and admit to GSP at RD time?</p>

<p>Cornell is definitely a reach. I think you might have a chance at NYU, though.</p>

<p>You cannot apply directly to GSP. It's for people who aren't fully qualified for the original school the student applied to, but not "terrible enough to reject entirely.</p>
