slight note: NYU doesn’t deffer anyone.

Applied Major:
Accepted to (LSP or school of choice): CAS

[] ACT:
[] SAT II: Math2:790 Lit:670
[] Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 3.2
[] Weighted GPA: unknown
[] Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): school doesn’t rank
[] AP (place score in parentheses): didn’t actually submit any
[] IB (place score in parentheses):
] Senior Year Course Load: quite clearly affected by budget cuts, but AP Eng, an INTEL computer science class that’s equally or more impressive, and then just regular (honors level) classes.
[] Major Awards (USAMO, Intel etc.): Intel applicant… haven’t heard back yet[/ul]

Subjective:[ul]
[] Extracurriculars (place leadership in parentheses):Founder/Pres of film club, couple charity groups, sports section for school newspaper, creative writing publication, some other clubs here and there - nothing too huge
[] Job/Work Experience:camp counselor for a couple years, and tutored kids for a bit for the entrance exam into my high school (the SHSAT in New York)
[] Volunteer/Community service: nothing major

[] Essays (Include Subjects): [list]

[] poem was about: haiku about writer’s block (9.5)
[] 2050 movie: I made mine sorta cocky and funny 9.5

Other[list]
[] Date Submitted App: Oct. 31 (I might’ve said 30th on the other thread but I actually think it’s the 31st)
[] Date Received Letter: Saturday, Dec. 12

Reflection[list]
[] Strengths: Scores, Trend (my current grades are more in the area of 3.8-3.9 and not 3.1-3.2 because I care about my life now)
[] Weaknesses: Freshman/Sophomore year grades

[] What do you look forward to the most at NYU? Becoming a politically active lesbian chick with 9 piercings and 10 tattoos sticking it to the man… kidding, my edumacation… kidding. Living in New York still, enjoying college and the freedom that comes with it. I don’t know, I have no great answer.
[] What do you fear the most at NYU? that I’m just gonna transfer for the sake of transferring because i’m a much stronger student now and I know I think I’m going to have a chance at schools with more prestige… so I guess I fear putting too much stock in a name and not getting out of it what I could. 
[] Why you think you were accepted/rejected: Scores, prestige of high school, my answers on the supplement, essay, i’m sure my rec was fine but not transcendent.
[*] Other schools your are/were considering: was considering UMIch (have to withdraw app),USC, Tufts, Hamilton, McGill, Oberlin, Macalester, BU. Will consider in the future: Columbia, Northwestern maybe, Stanford (not as much)… mostly Columbia
