<p>I'm a high school senior planning on applying ED to NYU in the fall. NYU is my absolute #1 choice, however my grades are no where near the gpas of other applicants. I'm half Brazilian and a quarter German (I don't know if I fall under the "Latino" category ..:/)</p>
<p>Unweighted: 3.0
Weighted: 5.0</p>
<p>My transcript consists entirely of honors, AP and IB courses.</p>
<p>I have taken 6 AP courses since the 8th grade:
-AP German
-AP World History
-AP European History
-AP English Language
-AP US History
-AP English Literature</p>
<p>I am also an IB diploma candidate. I took IB SL Chemistry last year and am currently enrolled in:
-IB SL Theatre
-IB HL German
-IB SL Statistics
-IB HL Contemporary History
-IB HL English
-IB Theory of Knowledge</p>
<p>I took the SAT cold last spring and scored a rather low/average score. I plan on retaking the exam in October and I am aiming towards any score above a 1900 (preferably 2000+).</p>
<p>My ECs include:
-Best Buddies (9th)
-German Club (9th, 10th, 11th, 12th)
-Model UN (10th, 11th, 12th)
-Future Business Leaders of America (11th, 12th)
-Technical Theatre Club (11th, 12th)
-National Honor Society (11th, 12th)
-German Honor Society (11th, 12th)
-Thespian Honor Society (11th, 12th)
- JV Lacrosse Team (11th)</p>
<p>-I tutor elementary school students in German
-I am running for German Club President this month
-I recently completed a 5 week internship at a Congressmans office in DC
-I volunteer at IMPACT Theatre- a student-run theater production aimed to spread awareness on intolerance.</p>
<p>As you can see my resume is fairly strong, however, my gpa is definitely lacking. My German studies and extracurriculars are a major part of my life and I plan on applying to CAS for their German Language and Linguistics major. Other than that I plan to (hopefully) impress the admissions officers through my essays. </p>
<p>So....what are my chances?</p>
