<p>I'm an international student, currently a senior attending an international school in Malaysia. I want to know whether i am competant enough to apply to NYU Stern cus I heard that its really tough for international students to enter :(</p>
<p>My GPA unweighed: 3.8/4.0
My high school doesnt rank cus its a small school (class of just 100 students, but i'm probably 3~6 if i'm ranked, so still top 10%).
SAT I: CR=680, MATH=800, WR= 710 (I only took it once and i'm planning to take another one this coming october and hopefully my CR will improve).
SAT II: Chinese w/ listening= 800, Math IIC= 800, Physics= 700 </p>
<p>I don't take any AP courses because they are not offered at my high school, but I take the International Baccelearate (IB) Diploma. Basically, IB classess are same as AP classes.
But I took two AP tests (self studied), and got AP CALCULUS AB 4 and AP PHYSICS B 3. (I don't think i should include the ap physics in my application).</p>
<p>I take the most rigorous courses that are available at my high school.</p>
<p>other than academics, i am very involved in ECs..

Helped out during the oil spill in Korea during summer (100 service hours)
I perform hip-hop musics at bars and clubs with my friends, maybe once a month? (not so sure whether I should include this in my app, cus it might be inappropriate to perform at bars and clubs when i'm underage..)</p>
<p>I love HIP HOP and RAP, and I hope to express those feelings in my application essays. I think it will work out well.</p>
<p>pls rate my achievements and give me some advice whether i can make it to Stern even though i am an international student. Oh, and I don't need financial aid (not sure whether nyu even gives aids to int. students)</p>
<p>THX!</p>
