<p>I've only just finished my freshman year (I'll be the class of 2016) and NYU is currently my second choice for a double major in marketing/global business and journalism. (Is this even possible? I may be dreaming here.)</p>
<p>-Ethnicity: Burmese/Chinese (Burmese is a southeast Asian minority, so would that help my chances?)
-Money: low-income
-SAT'S: 1980 -- CR640 M650 W690
-GPA: 4.3 weighted (school doesn't do unweighted or rank)
-Extra currics: High School Senate (fresh), Freshman class Secretary, High School Senate (soph), Sophomore class secretary, school acapella group, winter track (I was out this season due to knee injuries but I'll be back, and I'm pretty much guaranteed varsity junior year if I don't get it this year), concert band/marching band (I play bassoon and mallet percussion), DECA, Student Ambassador's club, band librarian (stupid name, but it's a leadership position!), German Club
-Work experience: Intern with the Daily Front Row at Mercedes Benz Fashion week in February, (I'd don't really know if this even counts, but) fashion blogger on personal site (poshandcircumstance.com) with over 1,000 followers to date.</p>
<p>My volunteer work I only have about 50 hours of volunteer work so far (and it's kind of scattered, not really with one single person/program yet), but I'm starting to look for more opportunities to change that. Even though I'll only be a sophomore I'll be taking all honors and an AP class (AP US History).</p>
<p>My first choice is Columbia, but obviously that's insanely tough to get into, which is why NYU is a major second choice (even though it's really pricey :( ). I want to go to college in NYC is because I'm super interested in fashion and the interning opportunities are endless in the big city. I appreciate all feedback! Anything helps!!!!</p>
