—> I want to go into Education (Early Education?) or communications/journalism.</p>
<p>1 recommendation from my principal and another from my english teacher, who is the most sought after recommendation writer in my school so i think im pretty set in that area.</p>
<p>What are my chances at CAS or stern </p>
<p>I am a White/Asian male(I’m putting down white).</p>
<p>I attend a very competitive large public high school in New York City. It sends many grads to top schools. Actually a recent article in the Wall Street Journal ranked my school as the best public school in the US in terms of percent of students sent to top schools.
I have a unweighted 91 average fairly hard classes (but not the hardest), with an solid upward trend. (Basically 88,91,95).</p>
<p>I don’t have a weighted GPA nor a class rank. My school doesn’t have them.</p>
<p>My SATs are 1460/2190. (740,720,730)
SAT II: 680 Math I(should I submit this), 720 US History, 710 lit.
All my aps are 4s or 5s.</p>
<p>Can you guys just assume that my extras and essays are pretty average for the schools that I am applying too. ( I know its gonna be sorta hard to judge, but i’ll take answers with a grain of salt).</p>
<p>Also, I will NOT request financial aid.(Will this help in the recession?)</p>

<p>Ok, hi guys. So I had a few questions. I visited the tour for NYU and they said that they wanted 3 SAT subject tests in different subject areas. I always thought that they only wanted 2 :[. </p>

SAT Reasoning: - CR: 580, M:730, W:700
SAT Math 1 - 720
SAT Math 2 - 710
SAT Chemistry - 700</p>
<p>So how are my scores?
Do I have to take SAT reasoning over because my Reading score is a bit low? I’ve taken the test 3 times so far, (once sophomore year at beginning because I was being ridiculous and twice in junior year)</p>
<p>I want to apply for CAS in journalism or Gallatin</p>
