<p>Hey, so i go to a pretty competitive catholic school in NYC. I know CUNYs don't look at extracurriculars, so can you basically tell me if I have a shot at any if them with my stats?</p>
<p>GPA: 78.2 or 2.3
SAT: 1610 (M 510, CR 490, W 610)</p>
<p>AP/IB/Honors Courses:
Freshman Year: Full Honors
Sophomore Year: Global History 10H, Chemistry 10H
Junior Year: IB English HL, IB History HL, IB Psychology HL, Physics 11H</p>
<p>Senior Year Schedule:
IB/AP English HL
IB/AP Psychology HL
AP European History/AP US History Combo Course
AP Spanish Language
English 12: Advanced Journalism 12H
Precalculus 12H
Photography
Religion 12
Concert Band 12
Select Band 12</p>
<p>I have no free/lunch periods. I am literally the only senior at my school that is doing this(out of a class of 250+) As for the first trimester, all of my grades were 80+, except for IB English(I did not complete my Internal Assessment in time for the end of the marking period, so I was docked 30 point off my grade)</p>
<p>I wrote a personal statement describing my reason for poor grades, which is because of the medical problems that I have(Hypersomnia, Hyperventilation, Paresthesia, and Panic Attacks). They are primarily happening due to the fact that I am very overweight and unhealthy. These disorders have caused me to be absent for many days of school.
Freshman Year:23 days
Sophomore Year: 42 days
Junior Year: 68 days</p>
<p>I am applying to(in order of choice based on CUNY app):
Hunter College(I REALLY want to go here)
Branch College
Brooklyn College
City College
College of Staten Island</p>
<p>So you are not interested in Macaulay Honors?
LOL Don’t worry… CUNY is pretty easy to get in. You are good.
But if you want to get into either Macaulay Honors (which only one college is allowed), or Regular Honors (I think you still have to apply with MHC application), your stat is too low.</p>
<p>Otherwise, don’t worry about it. If you are referring to top 3 SUNY, IMO you can still get in.</p>
<p>I doubt about it. I think you are good enough. But for honors program, no, your chance is low.
But regular admission I think you are not bad at all. Don’t worry about it too much.
Are you a junior now?</p>
<p>I think the admission rates are so low because SO many NYC kids apply to these schools. Literally I think out of the 675 kids in my grade, 670 are applying to CUNY in some way.</p>
<p>I am not totally familiar with current CUNY admission process but a while back for one price you could apply to I think 6 schools, AND you ranked what order you wanted them in. So it kinda skewed results. I think Lehman on way up, you may want to add as safety.</p>
<p>You will most likely have difficulty getting into the senior CUNY colleges. Minimum average for the most part is at least 80, and certain programs (e.g. Engineering & Architecture @ CCNY) will require at least 85 or 90 to have a chance. Please contact me if you wish to discuss your situation in greater detail.</p>
