<p>I have nobody to really compare myself to as far as college admissions goes, and I'm having a really tough time finding a range of schools. My GPA is really low, but my SATs and ECs are pretty good. I'm just interested to see what everyone things. </p>
<p>GPA (weighted): 4ish
SAT: 740 Reading
800 Math
650 Writing</p>
<p>I take two APs, and I'm taking 3-4 more next year, I'm captain of my football team, actively involved in theatre/chorus, I've gotten 8 musical leads, </p>
<p>Any college suggestions? maybe schools that look to SATs over GPAs? I need something in the New England, New York, New Jersey area (I'm from Mass)</p>
<p>Also I am being tested for ADD/ADHD, if I get treated and kick-ass senior year could that change things in a big way?</p>
<p>What is the 4 GPA out of? A 4 sounds good to me. It you do indeed have a learning disability and are treated and your grades improve I am sure colleges will take that into account.</p>
<p>A suddenly diagnosed LD in your senior year looks fishy.</p>
<p>The 4 is out of a scale that goes up to 6, best students get up to a little over 5</p>
<p>Would NYU interest you?</p>
<p>NYU probably would interest me, but I was thinking that was wayyy too much of a reach for me</p>
<p>What is your unweighted GPA? your class rank?</p>
<p>Unweighted GPA is pretty close to 3, I'd say 2.9-3.2. My school doesn't report rank but I'm probably top 30-35% in a pretty academically competitive class.</p>
<p>NYU is a reach but you have a chance with those test scores. Do you haven an upward trend? Bad grades in certain areas consistantly, but consistant great grades in others?</p>
<p>No upward trend, but definately better grades in a few classes consistantly and poor grades in others. I've also always takin highest level classes, all honors, two APs thus far, three or four more next year</p>
<p>Singing is really my strength though, and I was thinking that could help me if i audition or send a tape even if I don't major in music. Anyone know if this is a legit idea? or any other schools i should look at?</p>
<p>/is UCAll the only college to offer addmission based solely on test scores?</p>
<p>NYU has a great filming school.. the tisch film school. what major do you want to do? there seriously has to be ONE certain major.</p>
<p>I don't think I'm that interested in NYU, just because it' seems like a stretch and I'd rather go to a school not in the city... anywhere good you could suggest? MASS, NY, NJ, PA?</p>
