<p>Ok thanks for the help!</p>
<p>Someone chance me for Stern ED!
SAT : 800M/750W/670CR (yeah i screwed up the CRā¦)
SAT2: Math2 800 / USH 750
GPA : 3.9/4.0
EC : Ultimate Frisbee 3 years - varsity/state champion / Orchestra Band 3 years
1 st chair clarinet for 3 years / LG summer internship / clarinet tutoring
NHS / Beta Club / some other clubs
Ethnicity : asian (international student) </p>
<p>someone please chance me!</p>
<p>Good numbers for Stern. Iād say decent shot overall. ECās seem a bit on the weak side, with little leadership experience (1st chair clarinet in a school orchestra is hardly notable, and idk if ultimate frisbee is taken all that seriously as a sport).</p>
<p>does NYU only look at unweighted GPAās?</p>
<p>Iām pretty sure, like any other college, they look at everything.</p>
<p>This thread really died down over the last weekā¦ is everyone back in school? What are your schedules?
Heres mine:
1-- AP Environmental Science
2-- Journalism
3-- AP Government
4-- French II
5-- AP Literature
6-- AP World History
7-- AP Psychology
8-- Seminar (a full period homeroom to do homework and stuff)</p>
<p>@tniemann Your schedule sounds better then mine! 
I start school the 29th (bleh) and havenāt even had time to work on the Common App because of AP summer work!</p>
<p>1 - Economics
2 - AP Pyschology
3 - Web-Design
4 - AP English Lit
5 - Digital Photography
6 - Anatomy & Physiology
7 - AP Government
8 - Finite Math
9 - Free Period</p>
<p>(I only took two APs junior year, APUSH & English Language)</p>
<p>I think my schedule is worse. Iām very concerned Iām not taking a rigorous enough courseload. (No 4th year of science, eek)</p>
<ol>
<li>Yearbook</li>
<li>AP Econ</li>
<li>Dual Enrolled College Western Literature and Thought</li>
<li>Lunch</li>
<li>PE Leader</li>
<li>AP Calc AB</li>
<li>Journalism</li>
<li>AP Gov</li>
</ol>
<p>The only reason Iām taking yearbook is because I am up for journalist of the year and I want to build my portfolio in addition to my work in journalism. Also, the only reason I am a PE Leader and am not taking another AP class is because the state I live in requires 4 years of PE. </p>
<p>Iām not taking a fourth year of science. Is my schedule too easy in comparison to all of the other applicants???</p>
<p>@Correkid No I think your schedule is fine! At least you are taking APs senior year (there are some at my school arenāt even taking at all senior year) and AP Econ/Calc/Gov are challenging subjects (in my opinion anyway :P) </p>
<p>D: FOUR years of P.E? I would be deadā¦ Good-luck! Our school ony requires two years, but I took dance sophomore year in place of P.E. </p>
<p>Good-luck to everyone working on the Common App/starting senior year!</p>
<p>4 years of PE seems like a lot. We have 2, including a semester of health and a semester of Nutrition.</p>
<p>I plan to apply ED1 to BPE.
What are my chances?

Would you recommend I send my SAT II scores?</p>
<p>If financial aid wasnāt an issue, I would apply ED. :(</p>
<p>Good luck to you all!</p>
<p>@TheSolution- you can deny an admissions offer from NYU if the financial aid package would āput too much financial strain on yourself or your familyā according to the person at the campus tour. So you can still apply and reject an admissions offer if you want.</p>
<p>I canāt understand how americans have so many classes!
In Senior Year, I have</p>
<ol>
<li>English Language (Linguistics)</li>
<li>French</li>
<li>Global Politics</li>
<li>Further Mathematics</li>
<li>Solo Music Performance</li>
</ol>
<p>and I completed Swedish last year.</p>
<p>ā¦?</p>
<p>I have some questions for any kind soul who is willing to answer!!</p>
<p>when i was filling out the common app it asked me if i would consider enrollment at other schools at NYU if i didnāt get into tisch. i thought you could only apply to one school, and it still says that on the website. so confusedā¦
also, does your art teacher send in a recommendation separately to tisch after all the other common app stuff is done? the website says you canāt but someone who applied to tisch last year and got in had her art rec sent directly to them. </p>
<p>and finally, any tips on what you should say/shouldnāt say in the supplement? i feel like i have some really good material but at the same time when iām discussing why i want to go to nyu i would hate to be cliche.</p>
<p>leggggy- I can only answer your first question, but here it is:
You can only apply to one school directly, but if they canāt offer you admission to that school (not quite up to par) they might offer you admission to another school rather than flat-out rejecting you. You arenāt able to choose the other school, and they wonāt offer you admission to both.</p>
<p>@tniemann thanks! doesnt this cause an issue if iām applying ED to tisch, but then they decide they want me to go to steinhardt so iām technically bound to go there? do you know if itās a bad idea to say you donāt want to be considered for other schools?</p>
<p>If youāre accepted to a school other than the one you specifically chose, it is no longer binding. If you apply to Tisch, they accept you to Steinhardt, you can still say no.
Thatās why I checked the box anyway. Even though I probably wonāt want to go to another school, Iāve already paid the application fee and it wonāt be binding, so you might as well say yes.</p>
<p>AhhhhhI havenāt posted in here for a while. Hi everyone, Iām the creator of this thread. Lol</p>
<p>I start school Sept 4thā¦
Iāve devoted this day to finishing up AP summer work!
I have started the commonapp, but Iām barely half way finished. I think all of your schedules are greatā¦I feel as though my senior year sched is kind of lacking.</p>
<p>So junior year I took 3 APS (APUSH, AP Bio, and AP Calc AB)</p>
<p>This year Iām taking</p>
<p>AP Macroeconomics (Half year course- Semester 1)
Humanities H (Half year course- Semester 1)
AP Eng Lit
AP Stats (Iāve run out of maths to take besides this oneā¦took calc last year)
Spanish VI H
E-Commerce H
AP Environmental Science</p>
<p>Anyone else who is taking AP Enviro this year should PM me, we can share notes and help each other out! I think all curriculum is fairly similar if not identical for this class.</p>
<p>Actually, anyone taking the same APs as me should PM me. We can exchange contacts or whatever and work together. I would be more than willing to exchange notes, help plan essays, etc together.</p>
