<p>I'm a high schooler, going in to my senior year and I want very badly to attend NYU fall of 2014 (hopefully getting in early decision?). I'm only 16 years old because I did 7th and 8th grade consecutively, (7th at school and 8th at home through a program my school offered me.) All the way through junior high I never had anything but A's and my freshman year and sophomore year I got all A's and the occasional 1 B per quarter. Junior year I got all A's except for a few B's... (more than usually but no more than 2 a quarter), but with my AP classes - (I've only taken AP World and AP English - both of which I got scores on my AP exams that I don't wish to share with the college if I don't have to, a 1 and a 2 :/) - I kept my weighted cumulative GPA up to a 3.95, unweighted I believe it's about a 3.7-3.8. My class rank is 24/389, placing me at the 94th percentile, and I am also currently enrolled to take ALL college classes my senior year at the University here in Hawaii - I'm the only student who was allowed to opt out of all my high school classes and attend the university for duel accreditation. By the end of my high school career in May 2014 I will have taken 4 years of English plus English 102 (5) and possibly creative writing from the college, 5 years of math (alg 1, geometry, alg 2, Math 135, and Math 140), 5 years of science(physical sci, bio, physics, human physiology, and chem 151+chem 151Lab) (I was the only sophomore allowed to take human physiology my sophomore year), 4 years of history(us history, AP World, PID/Hawaiian History, and psychology 100), 3 years of spanish, and 3 years of art - (omitting electives.) I also technically will be graduating in December (early) and becoming an Early admit at UHMC for the spring semester - not that I will be declaring a major there, so I will still be considered a new entering Freshman if I'm accepted to NYU. My SAT/ACT scores aren't great yet but I'm going to be taking them at least 1 more time if not 2 by November/January so I can hopefully apply early decision. Right now my SAT is a 1610 and my ACT is a 21, but I will be studying a lot so I can hopefully get at least a 2000 or over a 28. For my extracurriculars I'm not really tied in with any at my school but I've held 2 jobs since summer of 2012, (1 being a photographers assistant since July of 2012, and the other being a sales associate at Billabong - since March of 2013 - both of which I still hold today), I also have been a junior high helper at my church since 2010, I've gone on church missions trips, played volleyball freshman year, and done a little volunteer work with my church which I hope to be doing more of soon. I know I need more extracurriculars but those are what I have right now. I was offered to be in the National Honors Society since Freshman year, but since it requires 72 hours of community service (which I don't have), I was unable to accept... </p>
<p>I also have a lot of ethnicity (I'm norwegian, italian, jewish, creole, filipino, mexican, african american, asian, and french black). Neither my mom or dad went to college - making me the first if my sister doesn't go, and my parents are separated. I don't know if any of this information makes me more likely to get accepted because of diversity but I hear it does?</p>
<p>Please chance me? Thanks!</p>
