<p>I know this is pretty much impossible, but I want to prove a point to my Mom. What are my chances of getting accepted to NYU with a 3.7 unweighted GPA, 2100 SAT, 3 years of sports(1 year of varsity), 3 years of band, and an expulsion from a prep school for marijuana?</p>
<p>Expulsion for possession of a controlled substance? Sigh, your chances are not good. How long ago was it?</p>
<p>It was April of my Junior Year. I’m a senior now. I’m applying ED to NYU. Yeah, I’m positive I won’t get in, but my mom is ignorant about the college admission process so she thinks otherwise.</p>
<p>Well your mother isn’t too ignorant if she thinks you won’t get in. She is correct, your chances are very slim with an explosion for marijuana on your record. And it’s a shame because you had pretty good stats…</p>
<p>That expulsion will hurt you ALOT during the admission process. </p>
<p>NYU - Match(Based on your academic achivements/ECs.)</p>
<p>I know I’m not going to get in. The entire point of this thread is to convince my mother that even if I apply ED applying to NYU is still a waste of time and money. @hopeful360 “I’m positive I won’t get in, but my mom is ignorant about the college admission process so she thinks otherwise.” Not trying to be rude, but it isn’t very helpful if you don’t read the whole thing.</p>
