Nyu Ea?

<p>GPA: 3.63 UW
School Dosen't Rank
SAT(old): 1250 </p>

<p>In 9th grade I was in all regular classes except for math, and I was in integrated science and my GPA sucked. I worked the summers of my Freshman and Sophomore years to catch up and now I'm full IB after a lot of hard work and sweet talking my consuelor. So, I went from regular cclasses with a low GPA to full IB with a high GPA, but my overall is still somewhat low. I also moved from living with a bi-polar guardian who wasn't on their medication and I moved out of state after I was abonded. Will these things make me stick out in my essays and such? Should I mention them?</p>

<p>EC's:
At my old school
BPA: President
Key Club
Multi-Cultural Club</p>

<p>At my new school:
NHS (Vice President)
SNHS
Young Republicans
Young Democrats (Yes, I'm in both, I like both sides of the coin)
Quiz Bowl team</p>

<p>Here's the list</p>

<p>NYU is my first choice and dream school and I applied EA and included all my unique "baggage" in my essays. Please evaluate my chances and be honest! I know I'm sub-par, but I think I may be extremely in my essays by talking about how it affected me academicaly and socialy and what not. What do you guys think? </p>

<p>Also, I have done a summer internship at a law firm, have over 150 hours community service at a hospital, did the Cornell Summer program and I had to skip two years of Spanish because my old school had 6 periods for the whole year, so class of language a year. Here, it's 4x4 so you have to have 6 years. I skipped Spanish 3 and 4 and went straight to IB Spanish 1 and got an A and a B+ in IB Spnaish 2. So, in short, I skipped two years of Spanish and did very welland included it in my persoanl statement. I wrtoe the above post a long time ago so it's in the future tense. My school dosen't rank and I'm Full IB. Freshman year I was in all regular classes and took courses over the summer to be in IB. Thanks for any feedback at all!</p>

<p>I just want to say, it sounds like you have great academic potential and determination... With being in both Young Dems and Rep clubs - did you explain why you like to see both sides of politics? I know some people who do that (I myself am pretty independent as well) and I've heard concerns it makes you look "wishy-washy" in your beliefs... (which I personally dont believe)... I dont think it'd be a problem, though...</p>

<p>I'm still in HS (applying to NYU RD), not the best for giving chances, so I'll just wish you good luck - hope you get in!</p>

<p>Yea, I have VERY strong feelings and opinions for one of the political parties, I just like to see both sides of the story because I don't excatly undetstand the other side all the time, and I can honestly say I learned a lot in both clubs. Thanks for the good luck. Any more opinions would be appreciated@</p>

<p>nyu only has ED not EA</p>

<p>Yeah, sorry about that I realized after I posted it. But w/e it's essentially the samething.</p>

<p>Please? (Wasting space so this message isn't too short).</p>

<p>B U M P </p>

<p>Please? There are 50 something views and only a couple of responses.</p>

<p>I think you have a pretty good chance. Which school within NYU did you apply to? You might be referred to GSP because of your SAT's</p>

<p>CAS, But I'd be fine with GSP.</p>

<p>bump.......</p>
