<p>Hi, I just applied to NYU Stern EDII and I am very nervous. I lived in both Canada and the US, and my gpa's all over the place.</p>
<p>In Canada, they only look at your top 6 senior year grades for college apps, so I didn't care much during freshman and sophomore year. (Mostly "Canadian" Honors)
Grade 9: 70
Grade 10: 78.7
Grade 11: 90.8</p>
<p>Then, unfortunately, my application for a green card was rejected (a "congestion" in the Immigration Department; all Immigration files were terminated for many people) and I had to leave the country. So I moved to the US, and decided to repeat grade 11, so that I can take AP classes and adjust to a whole new system of education.</p>
<p>Grade 11 US: 93.4 (with 4 APs and 1 Honors)
Grade 12 US: 93.8 (with 5 APs, and 1 college level course)</p>
<p>This leads to a cumulative GPA of 83.2, as my school does not count Senior year grades for GPA.</p>
<p>My test scores, however, were fairly good.</p>
<p>SAT I: 2330
780 Math, 800 Writing, 750 CR (2 sittings superscore)</p>
<p>SAT IIs:
Math 2: 800
Bio M: 800
USH: 780
Korean w. Listening: 800</p>
<p>AP:
USH: 5
Bio: 5
Lang Comp: 5
Psych: 5</p>
<p>ECs: In Canada: swim team during grade 10 and 11 (Varsity)
VP of Marketing and Sales for a Junior Achievement Company
3-day Walk-a-thon through Ontario and Quebec to raise awareness for war and children</p>
<p>In the US:
started an online charity/fundraiser through thewaterproject.org
started a club in my senior year to continue with water projects</p>
<p>For my essay, I talked about living in Korea, Vietnam, Canada, and the US in search of a better education. I explained how the standard of education was very important in my life.</p>
<p>So how do I stack up against others in NYU Stern EDII? I have such a ****ty GPA, but my test scores are okay, I think. Please chance please!</p>
