<p>Hey guys! Ok, here's my info, do with it what you will.....aka give me your opinion, I would really appreciate it. </p>

<p>GPA, unweighted: 3.68
GPA, weighted: 4.1</p>

<p>Took 7+ AP classes, did well in class.....vague, right? (A's and B's)</p>

<p>SAT, first time taking: CR-590, Math-630, Writing-650
SAT, second time: CR-640, Math-580, Writing-750</p>

<p>SAT IIs were really bad: MATH II-590, Lit-570</p>

<p>ACT-28</p>

<p>Volunteering- Library, museum, tutoring</p>

<p>Not born in America, Low income family, one family member in out of state university.</p>

<p>My recommendations are great because I have a good relationship with my teachers and counselor. Everyone loves my essay about diversity, but who knkows??</p>

<p>Be honest because I'm not going to get creepily depressed about the truth.</p>

<p>I'm applying to NYU (Stern possibly) and three UC schools: UCSD, UC Irvine, and UCSB (I go to school in CA)</p>

<p>That's it! Thanks for the help.</p>

<p>I think you'll have trouble getting into Stern. It is very competitive, and test scores matter a good deal. Ideally you'd score 700 in all sections of the SAT.</p>

<p>That being said, NYU does accept a wide variety of students. Given your background, if you write a really good essay, you'll still have a chance. Good luck.</p>

<p>i think you will have an extremely tough time getting into any of the school.</p>

<p>You do look like a good gsp candidate though</p>

4

<p>Funny, I consider GSP a part of the school.</p>

5

<p>u cant apply to gsp though...
and ur not guaranteed a spot in the other schools if u dont do well enough in gsp</p>

<p>i think youll have a good chance at irvine and santa barbara.
stern is a definite reach for you because of test scores</p>
