NYU Chances/seeking opinions and suggestions.

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>First, while I realize that no person can say whether or not someone has a chance at ____ school I'm here just to simply see opinions. I value these forums, and I believe that the many users are helpful. With economic troubles, and increasing numbers of graduating classes I realize that it will only be tougher and tougher to get into our top choices. </p>

<p>Hey all. The reason I'm posting this thread is I want to know what you all think about my schedule for next year. I also want go to New York University as my top school of choice. What do you think my chances are?</p>

<p>So here's what I'm currently taking and my grades!</p>

<p>My current Junior Schedule:
AP Psychology-A
AP World History-B
AP U.S History-B
AP English Composition-A
Russian III-A
Chemistry I Honors-B
Algebra II Honors-A
Computer Electronics-A</p>

<p>Next year I plan on taking:
AP English Literature
AP Human Geography
AP European History
AP Statstics
AP Government
AP Microeconomics
Intermediate weightlifting</p>

<p>16 year old male. I'm half Greek, half black and from Florida. I speak a good amount of Russian. Am I a "URM"?</p>

<p>Extracurriculars so far:
-Key Club 2007-2008
-Key Club Vice President 2008-2009
-AP Club 2007-2008
-NYLF Forum of Medicine Summer 2008
-National Honor Society-2008-2009
-Big brother for big brothers and sisters program(at a local elementary school)</p>

<p>Class rank=20/440. ~ Top 5% (Should definitely increase after this semester and after next year's load)
Unweighted GPA-3.7, weighted 3.955.(weighted will go up to about a 4.2 next year)</p>

<p>So what do you all think? By the way, I suck at taking tests and have taken the SAT I so far and gotten a horrible score. I plan on taking it again along with a few Subject tests and the ACT soon.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I think that It’s a medium reach because of your SAT scores =[</p>

<p>Thanks for your opinion. :)</p>

<p>I will be taking the Subject II tests, and retaking the reasoning test, and ACT. So I don’t how those will turn out, but I did learn a GREAT DEAL since my last SAT. </p>

<p>That was also my first time taking the SAT and I made the error of spending too much time on a few questions. But I’m no longer a noob hehe. :P</p>

<p>when asking for chances to a school like nyu, just make sure you say what school in NYU you are applying to</p>

<p>stern is much harder than say, SCPS</p>
