<p>Probably no chance at any of them… I really hate to say it. =/ Try adding some more ECs (although if you’re already a senior, that might not help as much) and raising your GPA and test scores?</p>

<p>Chance me, please? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1217189-chances-pomona-other-selective-lacs.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1217189-chances-pomona-other-selective-lacs.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>really =/? what do they look for?</p>

4

<p>For the easiest of those schools to get into you would need around a 2000 SAT at least for NYU and around a 2200 for the other two schools. You would need at least over a 4.0 weighted gpa higher for Columbia and Cornell. Besides that being in clubs isn’t enough; colleges want you to be actively involved (ie you can tell them what you did in the club) and preferably in a leadership position in a club. You would also look better if you were involved in a varsity sport.</p>

5

<p>what about the heop program?</p>

6

<p>The HEOP program is just supplemental. It doesn’t give you a better chance. You still need to get into the college academically.</p>

<p>Very low to impossible chance. SAT very low, GPA low, and no extracurriculars such as major clubs (what are you in?), leaderships, etc.</p>

<p>Sorry to sound harsh, but these schools are competitive.</p>

7

<p>sorry bud, but to be honest, I give you a 0% chance. Check out the cc threads on admissions at those schools to see what kinds of things people are doing to get into those schools</p>

8

<p>what if my sat is raised to 2000?</p>

9

<p>what grade are you? if youre a senior, you may want to consider going to a lesser college and transferring</p>

10

<p>People get rejected at these schools with 2400 SATs… getting it up to 2000 won’t help.</p>

11

<p>well i dunno, NYUs avg is only 2050</p>

12

<p>Right, but you really need a lot above the average if you don’t have any ECs to even be considered.</p>

13

<p>this is true, btw hate to be “that guy” but chance me por favor <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1219166-chance-cornell-communications-major.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1219166-chance-cornell-communications-major.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

14

<p>I’d say you DO have a chance at NYU, but it is rather small. The other schools, you probably shouldn’t try to even apply for. Sorry, but it would just be a waste of time and money.</p>

15

<p>yea im with him, nothing wrong with going to an average college, working hard, and transferring though</p>

16

<p>but i wanted to apply thro heop…im really confused now. how does heop work???</p>

17

<p>HEOP = supplemental. You apply normally, send in everything normally, and send in a FAFSA. If you are accepted to the college (note: you will need to get accepted normally - this isn’t a separate admissions process, which is why your grades won’t help you) - once accepted, and if you qualify for HEOP based on the FAFSA income, you will be given the financial benefits.</p>

<p>Simply put, you are treated as a regular student for academic admissions.</p>

18

<p>Apply where you want to, but I’m not entirely sure you’ll be accepted to these schools … If you get your SAT up, you may have a chance at NYU! Consider looking at slightly easier schools?? Maybe Fordham (GPA is a little low for it though), CUNY, The City College of New York, College of Saint Rose, Marist, SUNY, and some other schools! Good luck!</p>

<p>Your extracurricular activities are not particularly impressive, neither is your SAT score or GPA. I’m sorry, but I must be blunt. (but don’t worry, my GPA is pretty bad as well) NYU is a possibility, though, if you raise your SAT score by 300 points. It is more lenient than Columbia and Cornell.</p>

<p>Get straight A+'s this semester. I don’t know if the schools you mentioned use your senior grades in their evaluation, but several schools I looked into do.</p>

<p>And also, what TYPES of classes are you taking? AP? Honors?</p>
