<p>Basically, I attended a 4 year cal state university my freshman year; however as a result of mentally detiorating family issues and working full time, my GPA was a low 3.0. After all of the family drama settled down, I transferred out into a california community college and have taken courses in the summer, fall, and winter and recieved a 4.0 each term. My GPA is now 3.45 and I have joined the Phi Theta Kappa honors society, recieved a new job at wells fargo, in the process of recieving my real estate license, play in a band, worked in a law office, first generation in my family to go to college, minority (hispanic), part of a non profit community outreach group revolved around the hispanic community, drastic upward grade trend, non-paid tutor at a local high school and I am trying to involve myself even more within the community college. I am hoping to transfer to NYU CAS, so please help, and input any advise . Also please keep in mind I have a good background story than can account for my early bad grades. I just hope that NYU can understand my new found ambition and look past the early mediocre grades. </p>
<p>Additionally;
My highschool grades are not too impressive; 3.3, 1650 SAT</p>
<p>The key issue is that I have undergone terrible expreriences that have drasticaly changed me , how may I express this to NYU/ do I have a shot to transfer? If not, any advise?
* I am applying to CAS (economics)</p>
