Info: Other colleges include Boston College, Rutgers, Fordham, Baruch College, University of Texas at Austin, Indiana University Bloomington and University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, but only if NYU Stern ED doesn’t work out… I actually transferred into a new high school this year from another HS which did not count 9th grade classes into the GPA, and didn’t offer honors/AP classes as a result. This became an issue when I moved to my new school, because at my new school, ALL grades will be included in the GPA, which meant that the ACP B’s I received in 9th grade were also factored in. Not sure if I can explain that too colleges though :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks!

You have a great shot. :slight_smile:

GPA is low, but Ed will help. Make sure your essays are good though!
Chance me back please :slight_smile:

ECs are solid, may make up for lower side stats! I would say it is a low reach.

Chance back?: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1788911-chance-me-for-columbia-others-ill-chance-back.html#latest

good luck!

Hopefully you know how expensive NYU will be.
If you can pay for it, solid chance as you have good EC’s and great test scores.
Also, because you’re not applying for financial aid and applying ED. NYU likes that a lot.

Great shot. ECs and test scores should make up for GPA. Chance me?

I think you have a great shot based on your EC’s. Can you chance me back also at NYU? http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/discussion/comment/18892979#Comment_18892979
