HEOP Students 2016

Hi!
I am applying HEOP Through NYU, Colombia, Cornell, Fordham, Hamilton.
How competitive are these programs.
I took the SAT and i got between 1000-1300 which is really bad. but I have a Good GPA
I am also really motivated. so i decided to apply to great colleges.

Heard it’s extremely competitive, I was applying to Cornell and Columbia but decided to drop Columbia for NYU

I’m also applying Cornell NYU and Columbia HEOP

@ilovecollege did you take your SAT yet? and how did you do? how is your gpa like?
I’m really worried about my SAT scores. should i re-take them?

Yeah I have a pretty low GPA but I have an upward trend since freshmen year. Plus I have a 1290 CR+M 1830 w Writing.
