IR at NYU and chances im so stressed

Colleges and Universities A-Z New York University
1

<p>Ok so as the title suggests I am a very stressed out junior especially since I just look the SAT subject tests today and am nervous about how I did and that I am smack in the middle of AP testing time
For US colleges I thinking about- are my classifications pretty accurate?
GW- visited and loved (Target)
American (low Target)
Gtown- visited but I didn't particularly like I don't know if I got a fair impression or not (reach)
Northeaster (target)
NYU (Reach or Target??)
Malcaster (Reach?)
William and Mary (Reach)
Denver u (Safety)
maybe Boston university (safety)</p>

<p>So my stats in short-
ECs- your average activities NHS, varsity tennis...ect. significantly I started a debate type club at my school, and I got a one of a kind internship over the summer in Nicaragua through my previous mission work with a non profit organization</p>

<p>GPA- 4.0
Rank top 10% hopefully it will stay that way my school is reallly competitive\
Loads of AP's and college classes- taking the hardest classes possible</p>

<p>My real weakness is test score
SAT super score 1900 definitely want to retake in the fall somemore but not sure how much I can improve
ACT 29 again want to improve, realistically speaking maybe by one or two points
APs-
World History 4
APUSH, Macro Econ., AP Bio (a hopeless case since I had such a bad teacher), AP English- scores all pending here-
SAT Subject tests- scores pending
Im also going to try to take 6 or 7 aps next year but that will be too late for admission</p>

<p>Northeastern is more of a safety for you.</p>

<p>You need to get that SAT score up. I feel like NYU will LSP you if you apply with that score. Try to raise it to at least a 2000. And it’s not too late for AP’s.</p>

<p>Your standardized test scores aren’t the best per se, anything north of 2000+ will really help your chances. Also, they take into account your senior course load, so take those AP classes, but don’t overestimate your ability. 7 APs is a lot, and if you do poorly the first semester, your mid-year report will turn out quite ugly.</p>

<p>Just so you know, when you apply to NYU you can’t apply as an incoming freshmen into the IR program. The IR program is an honors program. You need a 3.6 GPA after completing the pre-reqa (usually during sophomore year) to apply to the program. Then, if you’re accepted you have to maintain that GPA to continue in the program.</p>

<p>Boston U isn’t going to be a safety if northeastern is a target</p>
