<p>You are quite welcome, morgoth, as I'm sure any of the parents here would say. You may not get answers to your "do I have a chance at NYU" here on the Parent Forum. As we are loath to play the "chances" game so popular on the student forums ;). No one can really say. You see where your stats fall wrt the school's applicant profile. Even if they are at the tippy top, doesn't mean you'll actually get in. Even if they are down in the lower 25%, doesn't mean you won't. So.. you put your best foot forward; you get the best prof recs you can and write the best essays.</p>
<p>Being from Kentucky can be a help, but it is just one teensy factor. And you can't change it now ;). Geography is a factor, so on that score you're probably better off than if you were from some NE suburb where tons of kids apply to the same school. But plenty of them will get into the schools they love also. So, it is what it is.</p>
<p>Well I am taking the SAT in oct and as a sophomore I was in the 95 percentile on the psat. On SAT practice I have got a 1430 on a recent practice test. If i score that highly would that help me? I really don't know what good scores are on the SAT as almost everyone in my area takes the ACT.</p>
<p>Someone above mentioned UIUC. If you mean University of Illinois - Urbana/Champaign, that is not urban. UIC -- University Illinois at Chicago -- obviously is, and the OP has the stats for there.
There are many good Catholic schools in many major cities, some with their own law schools and some with good track records for sending kids to law school. Are you willing to think about the Midwest? There's DePaul and Loyola in Chicago, Marquette in Milwaukee, Creighton in Omaha. These are excellent schools, if not brand names. Marquette just received $51 million from a donor to build a brand new law school. Also, the University of Minnesota sits smack dab in the middle of the Twin Cities. There's the University of Cincinnati in . . . well, you get the idea.</p>
<p>Does anyone know anything about Emory's Oxford campus? I fall into the range of students there and am almost sure I could get in for spring and know they allow you to transfer after sophomore year to the Atlanta campus. While it may bot be what I wanted to start with...Atlanta is nice and man it is EMORY. *** the scores for students were pretty low....this must be a well kept secret or something Emory is top 20</p>
<p>I would say that your econ prof was a rarity at DePaul, although I have heard such stories at other campuses (some more prestigious than DePaul). Welcome to the real world, folks, where things are not always perfect no matter how much you pay.</p>
<p>Good grief. Do not cross DePaul off your list just because of an anonymous posting on a college bulletin board. Do your own research.</p>
<p>By the way, Fortune magazine recently chose DePaul as one of the 10 cool colleges for entrepeneurs. Guess they didn't hear about that drunk professor.</p>

<p>Yes I know retook act already should have around a 32-33 (based on practice test results). Although I am considering taking the SAT. I wish i had studied for those test in HS but I was so lazy....</p>
<p>In my case the ACT was taken before my senior year as my parents wanted me to stay instate and with the Kentucky Governors Scholars Program I received an auto scholarship-everywhere. NO writing LOL. Since this was taken without writing they will consider it I think. Anyway the rep said "they could not help but see them". My personal take from this and looking in the old transfer thread is that NYU and other schools do not "officially" take them. I have seen the village and since NYU has no campus I would say that equates to seeing the school.</p>
