<p>SAT I: 1880 (I did poorly on the writing section, I plan on taking it again in November)
AVG: 93.14% (I don't know if its weighted or unweighted my transcript is odd)
ECS: Service for Guidance office, Service for Student Activities Office, NHS, Teens at Service (this year), Student Council/Government. Not much in the EC area. Community service will be done through Teens at service, which probably won't be over 100 hours.
Rank: My school doesn't tell me but I'd say I'm in the top 20 (not percent) in the school out of like 625 students in my class.
I'm extremely poor.</p>

<p>These are the colleges I'm applying to:
Pace University
CUNY Baruch
CUNY Hunter
CUNY Queens College
NYU (Far far reach, I'm just trying to see if I could've been accepted or not I doubt I would be able to afford tuition)
Saint John's University</p>

<p>Now that I see it all laid out there, I feel disappointed in myself. :(</p>

<p>---------------------------------------------------------------------Edit
I finished applying to all the colleges I could
Pace University
CUNY Honors Baruch
NYU - Stern
Saint John's University
Long Island- Brooklyn Campus</p>

<p>Do I have a chance at CUNY Honors Baruch? I REALLY REALLY want to get into that school, everything about it just seems perfect to me. The location, the faculty, the buildings, just everything!</p>

<p>We found out our ranks since I've posted this, my rank is a dismal 25.
My new SAT score was an 1880 as well but all together the highest scores come out to like a 1930</p>

<p>I would've applied to two more universities (Fordham and Cooper Union) but the person in charge of sending in my applications with fee waivers made me feel so horrible about using so many fee waivers.</p>

<p>is there anyone out there?</p>

<p>I dont think they even consider volunteer work. </p>

<p>But the Honors college program is more difficult to get in to.</p>

6

<p>From what I recall, Pace University is a fairly easy school to get into and it's also a very diverse campus (I know someone who used to go to Pace). I know CUNY-Hunter might be more difficult but I'm not sure about any of the other CUNY schools.</p>

<p>Good luck with all of that :)</p>

7

<p>How is pace with scholarships?</p>

8

<p>anyone out there with good knowledge of CUNY HONORS?</p>

9

<p>Cuny hunter is probably one of the hardest cunys to get into my dad is very smart and went..even tho he went for fin aid reasons it is a very good school to go to...hey I betchya can get into UCLA if u tried(Cuny Hunter= University on the corner of Lexington avenue aka UCLA as a joke)</p>

10

<p>you majoring in pharmaceuticals?</p>

11

<p>and aim for some sunys man, you wouldn't want your grades to go to waste</p>

12

<p>I was thinking of going into pharmacy, but I'm taking a pharmacy class right now and it has really made me think in a different direction. I want to go into business, I want to stay close to home so I can help my mom with bills and stuff.</p>

13

<p>im thinking about majoring in pharmacy, whyd you change your mind?thanks
and for buisness, baruch is great for buisness, i heard from a friend like top 15 in the nation for buisness.good luck</p>

14

<p>Well while in pharmacy class I stare at my watch wishing it was all over, I dread the work, I dread waking up in the morning because of this class. I'm not a good science person I guess, or I don't enjoy science much especially pharmacy. I don't like memorizing the pharmakenetics (sp?) and pharmadynamics (sp?), I don't want to work in such a high stress job with the lives of people in my hands. I don't enjoy interacting with the elderly. I wouldn't want to work in a CVS for the rest of my life, I don't enjoy memorizing things I can't visualize. (Like the nervous systems and their receptors and the ganglia blah blah blah). I know pharmacy is going to be basically a safe well-paid job in the future, but its not worth it personally to me.</p>

15

<p>Anyone?
Heres what I see.</p>

<p>Pace University- Slight Reach
CUNY Honors Baruch- Reach
NYU- Far Reach (A Leap)
Saint John's University- Match
Long Island University- Match</p>

16

<p>where do you live in new york? i'm guessing you live in the bronx? I live in Yonkers</p>

17

<p>Queens baby! and pace is match, pace isn't really that good. i think you have a good shot at Honors Baruch with the 93 gpa. dont worry about the writing section, most colleges are using it for experimental purposes and im pretty sure baruch is one of them.(they might not even look at it at all.)gl</p>

18

<p>oh thats cool do you know where yonkers is ??</p>

19

<p>upstate i guess.</p>

20
