Is NYU a match for me?

<p>Hey everyone</p>

<p>I just recently sort of "accepted" NYU as a school that I should apply to. Before, I was pretty sure that I was gonna do engineering/sciences in college, and I knew NYU doesn't have engineering so I've always ruled them out. But recently, I am getting more unsure about doing engineering. Therefore, NYU is back on my list again, actually top three. </p>

<p>According to my school's graph, I am in the match range. But nothing is ever safe, so I'm here to ask for your opinions =D</p>

<p>I'm an Asian male, rising senior, at a rigorous prep school on the east coast. I will apply to College of Arts and Science </p>

<p>I also think I will have really good recommendations. </p>

<p>Thanks guys</p>

<p>Yes it is!</p>

<p>You need to bring up your SAT verbal score...otherwise your stats look pretty good.</p>

<p>I think your stats are actually a little low for CAS particularly your SAT and SATII. If you increase those scores that will definitely help. For now I say, match-reach.</p>
