<p>Ain’t no ■■■■■. :slight_smile: Thanks everyone :3
Any more opinions?</p>

<p>In for NYU. I don’t even know why you bothered asking about that school. You can see here how your scores surpass the vast majority of people that get in.</p>

<p>[New</a> York University Admissions Information - CollegeData College Profile](<a href=“http://www.collegedata.com/cs/data/college/college_pg02_tmpl.jhtml?schoolId=436]New”>http://www.collegedata.com/cs/data/college/college_pg02_tmpl.jhtml?schoolId=436)</p>

<p>In my opinion you should shoot higher. Higher as in any college you want higher.</p>

<p>Good Luck on your applications!</p>

<p>Are you talking about NYU in NYC or Abu Dhabi? Either way I think you’re in at both</p>

<p>NYU in NYC. I’m mostly worried about my ECs though. I have heard that they don’t express any real direction. I want to study Medicine, but there are literally no Med-related ECs where I live (and I would know, my Dad works at the city’s main hospital). And I really love everything that I do. :confused:
<em>sigh</em> Any insight on this?
And thanks for all the answers. You guys really lifted my spirits and confidence in applying. :D</p>

<p>Thanks guys! :D</p>

<p>How can you be worried about EC’s. Remember it is quality over quantity. Everyone on CC is so neurotic xD. The situation here is analogous to girls posting pictures on FB and calling themselves ugly(when they really aren’t), so people tell them otherwise.</p>
